Favorite Technique, Paper Tearing. Favorite Products, Sequins,  Glitter I have always been fond of all things sparkly :-)


Heather is here with me on holiday at the moment and she brought a lovely Wallflower Vellum Paper Pack with her, so I just had to pinch a bit ;-)


This was the first card I made but when I saw how popular this Crazy Bird Stamp Set was this week I thought I should make another one too ;-)


I just love the expressions on these birds faces, aren't they CUTE! This card is already in the post for my brother, I hope he likes it ;-) In retrospect I wish I had stamped the string as if he was holding it in his beak better, maybe extending the string a bit, but it's too late now ;-)

I stamped the image and then masked before stencilling the spotty background. I haven't coloured on Kraft cardstock very often but I do love the effect you get with the pencils :-)


So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
