Hello Birdies

Greetings!  Today I’m up for 7 Kids, and am excited to share with you that for the month of May the featured vendor is Mama Elephant!  I chose to color Birdie Wreath, and decided bluebirds would be the star of the show.  I did something a little different, and clear embossed the wreath after stamping with Tsukineko VersaFine Clair.  I learned about this amazing product from Melissa Andrew.  Her video is here.  Once I was done with the embossing, I watercolored the leaves with Distress Ink.  Then finished by coloring the birds and flowers with Copics.  And for my final touch, I embellished with Nuvo Dream Drops, which are the featured product at 7 Kids as well this month.  I had a lot of fun with this card and it gave me the opportunity to play with various mediums, which always makes crafting more fun and interesting!

Copics Used:  E31 B12 B14 100 R22 R05 R37
Distress Inks:  Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint
VersaFine Clair:  Nocturne

Hello!  Every once in a while I come across a stamp set that makes me, (a grown, somewhat responsible woman, and grandma to the cutest grandbaby on the plant), GIGGLE!  The Mama Elephant, Monster Jam stamps did just that... absolutely love them!  So, one of these little monsters landed on my card today, and he was great fun to color.  The background was done by applying drops of Tim Holtz Distressed Ink on water color paper, and then blowing the paint around through a straw.  Really a very simple card, but was happy with the results.  So, that's it for today!  Thank you for your visit to my blog!
