Hang in There


Hello All...

Back to cute for me today..... Over the holidays I dug right down to the bottom of my stamp boxes... ( I have so much stuff it it is shocking!!!) I rediscovered these gorgeous bird images...they are part of a "Linday's Stamp Gang" collection.....at one point these were the only cute stamps I owned....I think I have had them for 5 maybe 6 years.....although I had inked up other stamps from this set....these little birds have never been inked....shocking!!!! It was well before birds became a big trend in craft.......anyway when I saw them I thought they would go perfectly with this fab Magnolia image that my lovely bloggy friend Jane sent me.

The images have been coloured with copics. The paper is from my scrap pile, and I made the sentiment on the computer, the edges have all been inked with "distress ink - tumbled glass". I have done some stitching with some glittery thread, then finally added some ribbons and pearls.

This is my entry for:

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - blues collection
Just Magnolia - anything goes
My time to craft - Up in the air
Papertake weekly - anything goes
Shabby tea room - 11 elements ( 1 base card, 1 paper. 3 images, 3 pearls, 1 sentiment, 1 thread for stitching & 1 ribbon = 11)

Thanks for looking
Hugs Juls

    Super cute card Juls - those birds go so well with the image :o) I'm the same with my stamps - there are so many that I've never even inked up, seems a shame... must make an effort to use them this year! Lisa x

    Those birds are fabulous. They've got so much character and have completely stolen the show as far as I'm concerned. Fab card and I forgot to say how much I like the clever sentiment on todays card.
