Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a safe New Year's Eve, we are never up late at our house. I usually watch the ball drop on the East Coast and then call it a night. What do you do?
It's Repeat Impressions Designers Choice Challenge on The House That Stamps Built Blog and this week Geri has challenged us to use something new. That was an easy one for me (and probably most stampers/crafters) as I have a stash of stuff just waiting to be used.
I chose to use this pretty bird stamp from Repeat Impressions called Chickadee at Rest #211-P and some cardstock from the Authentique Seasons-Winter collection. Neither had been used before so they definitely fit the challenge.
I stamped the image on ivory cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored with an assortment of markers. My bird came out looking more like a Robin than a Chickadee, but I am okay with that. :) I colored the bird a second time and mounted it on some Tombow Foam Tabs for a little extra dimension. I used some clear Wink of Stella Brush Pen on the bird and some Cinnamon Stickles on the pinecones. I wish you could see the sparkle!
Be sure to stop by each of my fellow Rock Star's blogs and check out their beautiful cards.

Happy New Year, my friend!!! Your card is amazing! Using the cinnamon stickles was a great idea for those pine cones. Your coloring on the chickadee is beautiful! I wish you all good things in 2014. Hugs.
