Yay, it’s Friday! The weekend is almost here! Sadly, I needed a couple of sympathy cards and I thought I would show you one of them. This is an image from the Crafty Secrets Bird Lovers set, one of which I’ve never inked up!! I stamped it in Stazon on watercolor paper and quickly colored it with reinkers:
The base is Crumb Cake and I did some random stamping with a bird image and some leafy branches. The egg image is separate; I stamped it, colored it with Soft Sky ink, cut it out and adhered it; then speckled the whole shebang with an oldie but goodie, Itty Bitty Backgrounds!
Finally, the verse is from SU’s Blessings from Heaven:
And since there is a bird on it (upper right hand corner) as well as a bird’s nest, I am going to submit this for the Kraft Journal’s bird challenge (again!).
After Cassidy’s trip to the symphony, she pulled out the harmonica Grampy gave her and wanted to lead a parade!
Have a great Friday!
