Steampunk Bird Crazy

Hi my blogger friends,

Today I am simply playing.  Yesterday I shared a card with the Burly Chef, today I've gone to the birds, Bird Crazy that is.

 

I have to admit that when I first saw these stamps I thought I didn't like them.  Well, let me tell you that I have changed my mind in a big way.  Now I can't seem to get enough of them.  This week over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge  the theme is "In the middle" so will be adding my little birdies over there.

 

I made my crazy birds into steampunk birds and every time I look at them I get a giggle.   Hope you do to ---- 

here they are:

I have another idea cookin so I may see you tomorrow! 

Have a wonderful weekend,

June Tag

Hi All,

Just a quick post today to get in on the challenge over at Tim's blog.  This month we used a water color technique that was fun and fast.  It is a watercolor blending background where we put the Distress Ink on the back of a stencil, spritzed it with water and then put it on watercolor paper.  You can see Tim's tag and his tutorial here.  He used the star stencil but I wanted to go my own way, as usual, and went with hearts.

 

After the background was dry, I used some stamps from Tim's collections, stamped in black and embossed with clear.  I stamped the heart twice, cut them out and put the arrow in the center of the top heart.  I colored some Crinkle Ribbon as Tim did, added it to the top and I was good to go.

 

Have a wonderful and creative day,

S@ndy
