Easter Birdies

Good Morning everyone

Today is some Easter cards made using these lovely bird stamps from Katkin krafts - a new company to me, loved these birds among the cherry blossom. .

Slim DL approx size: 3.25 x 8.25"  I went with this size to fit some envelopes i have and thought it would work well with the images.

I first die cut a white panel to fit the card front and stamped the birds & branches onto it, i stamped them again onto more white card.  The 2nd images i watercoloured and cut out the birds and nests and some of the flowers.

I folded and cut a piece of spring green cardstock for my base card and stamped over it using the smaller stamps in the set and similar colours to those i used to colour the images.  I also stamped the word 'spring' in orange oxide ink randomly.   

I then adhered the white panel flat and added the birds & nests with glue gel for a little dimension.  A few added flowers to finish.

Version 2 - the birdie on the right is slightly different.  I watercoloured the flowers with a shimmer ink so when they catch the light they sparkle.

My little flock of spring birdie cards.  Spring is well on its way here in Cornwall as I had 3 hedgehogs come out of hibernation in the last week,just need some encouraging weather😀 

Items Used:
Katkin krafts stamps 'love nest' KK0013
aall&create stamps 'seasons' #455
Distress inks
Lisa Horton cloud 9 interference ink 'fruit salad'
DL dies
