Creating a Bird House with Birds and Branches

Creating a Bird House with Birds and Branches, is another card to show you how wonderfully versatile this bundle is. Mum and Dad looking after their nest with their cute speckled eggs. I really wanted to create duck egg blue so I mixed some pool Party and Balmy Blue together.

Creating Geometric with Swirly Frames

Creating Geometric with Swirly Frames was created when making a teenage boys card. Masculine cards are hard but teenagers cards even more so! But the Swirly Frames Stamps set really did make it easy. I decided to use just use the squares and rectangles. I overlayed them in places to create new sizes and shapes. Colours: I participate in a Colour Inkspiration Challenge on a regular basis, which is fantastic to get you out of your comfort zone. You get to try new combinations that you may ... VIEW POST
