Friends of a feather

Good Morning everyone

My 2nd card with those fab carabelle bird stamps is for a friendship swap i joined in. 

Card size approx 7x5"  Using Crealies XL stitched arch dies i made my base card from white card and a frame from white and black card.  I die cut a piece of paper for my background and attached them all to the base card.  The birds were stamped, simply watercoloured with distress inks....ive been previously asked why i always say i 'simply' coloured an image and thats as I usually only just add colour without spending time doing serious shading with light and dark....i have no patience when it comes to colouring in and don't find it at all relaxing😁

I then Cut out the birds and then i spent quite a while building up the scene with them.  In my last post i mentioned that this bird stamp is 11inches long so ive just cut them into small pieces.

Sun die cut from yellow paper, stamped sentiment and touches of glitter glue to finish.

A close up - i added glossy accents to their eyes.

Items Used:
Carabelle studios stamp - 'des oiseaux sur un fil'
Clearly besotted sentiment stamp
Crealies XL arch dies
MFT sun die
Distress inks
Patterned paper
White & black card
Ranger glossy accents & diamond stickles

Thank you all for stopping by once again.  I hope its a good week for you. Keep Calm and Carry on Crafting is my Motto at the moment!   Stay safe. Hugs Emmaxx
