I Brake for Birdhouses!

Hello from design team member, Heidi. I would like to share these cards, which I recently used for Mother’s Day, that I made with the Large Summer Time Birdhouse stamps.  This stamp is large, measuring almost 6 inches by 3.5 inches.  It would be great for 5x7 cards, but today I cropped it to fit a standard A2 card. 

I colored the image with alcohol markers, adding some detail with a white gel pen. I decided to color the birds as a family of Eastern Bluebirds, as these are my Grandma’s favorite.  I colored a second image and framed it out slightly differently to suit my mom’s tastes.  I used sentiments from both the Dahlia Quarter Sheet and Bird Sheet 141A.  

I Brake for Stamps also carries some other really nice birdhouse stamps! When I used that search term on their website, I found all these!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Heidi

It's Challenge Time!

Hello Lovely Ladies,

It's Wednesday, so that means a new challenge over on the IBFS Challenge blog today. The theme this week is 'Birthdays!' I hope you're able to play along, and you'll be that much more prepared for the next birthday on your calendar by having a card already made up. :c)

My card today is using the Large Summertime Birdhouse stamp (Item #EA425S); which I colored in using my Promarkers. I added some Dazzling Diamonds to the flower centers to really make them pop.

My Pastor's wife has a birthday on Thursday and she LOVES birdhouses, so I really hope she likes her card. I love this gorgeous stamp. Did I mention that it's huge? It measures about 3 1/2" x 5 3/4" so makes a great focal point. I made the overall card to measure 7 1/4" x 5 1/4"; which isn't a size that I get to create with very often.

Super fun Birthday challenge! Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure and check out the challenge blog HERE.

Happy Creating,

Robyn
