You're a Rare Bird

ETA (3/8/17) So proud to announce that my card was chosen as a Top Pick at Great Impressions this month!  Thank you!

Hello!  I have a card to share for the Great Impressions sketch challenge this month. 


I colored my parrots with alcohol markers.  I tried several color combinations before I came up with this one.  I used papers from one of my first patterned paper purchases. Inside, I stamped, "You are a Rare Bird."



Supplies: Great Impressions Parrots #G370S, You are a Rare Bird #E892S, Memento and Versafine black inkpads, Spectrum Noir markers (and one copic), Nuvo Crystal drops, DCWV Citrus Matstack,  Avery Elle Wonky Stitched Rectangles dies



Thanks so much for stopping by!

Oh Heidi, I unpacked my sewing machine just last week. You make me want to get in there and sew on a card. This is an amazing card!!! What do I like? I'm nuts for diagonal lines, your coloring is spot on, and color choices perfect. The stitching is just another plus.

I really like the stamp. I'm not going to go out and buy it or anything - lol, but who makes this stamp. If you knew me better, you would know that this is a dangerous question as I just got 2 fun stamps in from High Hopes yesterday. I should not be asking. . .
