Hi There, This time at Seize the Birthday our topping is to use "a bird or birds" on your card. It's the perfect chance for me to use my new Pretty Pink Posh "Hummingbird Thanks" stamps and dies. I also used PPP "Pretty Petunias". The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Thoughtful Messages" set, which was white heat embossed on black card stock.
For the bird and flowers I stamped them with Versafine Onyx Black on Bristol CS and colored with Zig watercolor markers. I enhanced them a bit with white gel pen.
The background panel is embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, Birds and Swirls, I believe.
I had a hard time with the bird, just wasn't sure how to color, but worked it out. Next time will be better!
"Birds"
or Anything Goes
