Sun Birdies

Good morning! This week Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Sentimental Sundays and their challenge is Things with Wings plus a sentiment. I used a new Birdie stamp Summer Song Birdies which comes in b/w outline and colour, I used the outlines and coloured it myself. I was just going to leave it as one layer and not 3D it but after taking the photo I changed my mind. So this is the before photo...

and this is after I coloured a second stamp and cut out the wings, hats, flower and starfish to pop up. Makes such a difference it adds so much to the card!

Drop on by Sentimental Sundays and give their challenge a try, remember to use a sentiment!

So Happy

Its the first of the month which usually means a new Doodle Pantry release but April Fool's! The new release this month is on April 5, so you need to wait a few more days, lol! But I couldn't resist this cutie pie Clover Worm and needed to make a card for a friend. I coloured him myself with copics for the gummy worm and prisma markers for the clover. They both were too dark so I used the copic blender pen to lighten both, I find that the copic works better than the prisma blender pen. I really like how it lightened both the worm and clover.

I used sakura gel pens on the butterflies. Come back on April 5 for Doodle Pantry's new release and the challenge also begins on April 5 at noon!

Therapy helps...

I was surfing free digital stamps yesterday morning and came across this sentiment from Ginger's House. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for my sister's birthday card. I changed the font and separated it, the sentiment is so her, lol! Now I just have to NOT lose the card before her birthday. 

 Here's a closer look at the fantastic sentiment.   

I did a light brown colour for the steam (instead of gray) and then "erased" it with blender pen. It turned out ok but I'll probaby go back to the gray.
