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:
