Spring Bird Cards

Hello!  We have been having such a lovely spring.  I have been watching outside my kitchen window as the birds are gathering nesting material, and I have seen larger birds, like crows, flying around carrying large sticks.  This made me think of a set of my favorite bird stamps.


I first made my backgrounds with a stencil and three colors of distress ink.  I found this pretty pastel blue cardstock and decided to stamp my images in dark brown ink.  I did some sponging with brown distress ink but otherwise left these simply stamped. I am quite pleased with these cards.  They will be part of the package of cards I send to the local assisted living center, as they shelter in place.  




These stamps are all from I Brake for Stamps Birds Stamp Sheet 141A (save 10% using my code SAVE10HEIDI), A Colorful Life Designs stencil, Distress Inks Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Vintage photo, Gina K Dark Chocolate Iink.

I’d love to enter Mod Squad Challenge Blog Bird Challenge and Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.

Thank you for visiting the blog today!  Happy Stamping!

The birds are very pretty as are the stenciled feathers! Spring may be here, but it sure doesn't feel like it yet! LOL
