Bee Flourish by Honey Doo Crafts and Crazy Birds by Tim Holtz

Morning crafters

It's Friday..Yay.  what are we all up to?
Me..I'm working on some samples for some beautiful new stamps so watch this space...

Anyways, today I'm sharing a card I made using the Bee Flourish by Honey Doo Crafts
www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk.
and the Crazy Birds stamp set by Tim Holtz

To begin I created a fun background using "smooshed" distress inks and a couple of stencils. I love random backgrounds..you never know how they'll end up lol

The Bee flourish was stamped in black onyx versafine ink and I added a few bees which were coloured with my Kuretake clean colour pens 

Next I added one of the crazy birds..I LOVE these stamps. So much fun. He was also coloured in with my kuretake pens 

Finally a sentiment was added to finish it off

I hope you like my fun card and many thanks for popping by

Tim Holtz Crazy birds and Polkadoodles Daisy stamp sets

Morning crafters.
Hope you're all well. Back to work for me after two weeks off for Easter.

I'd like to share another make using the fabulous Crazy Birds stamp set.  This time I combined it with the beautiful Polkadoodles Daisy stamp set

I stamped the first crazy bird, in Versafine black onyx ink, at the fore front of my composition and then, using a masking technique, I stamped the remaining  3 crazy birds so they appeared behind each other.  

I then stamped the beautiful Daisy stamp so it sat behind my group of birds

I also stamped flowers, butterflies etc around the card and added the sentiment. 

All the images were then coloured in with Kuretake clean colour pens to complete. 

Thankyou for stopping by

Tim Holtz Crazy Birds

Morning crafters

Midweek already. Where does the time go

Guess what I'm sharing today?... Yes. .more crazy bird makes lol! These stamps are soo cute, fun to play with a soo versatile.

For this card I created a water colour background using distress inks. I used the same inks to colour a scalloped frame (by Julie Hickey. Julie Loves. ... )

A wiggly frame was made around the card blank with a fine line pen

I stamped the sentiments using Versafine black onyx ink 

Two birds were stamped onto a piece of card in black onyx versafine and then coloured in with Kuretake clean colour pens.  

I cut them out and attached them to card blank with foam pads.

For my second card I also created a watercolour background. As this was on a deckle textured card blank it created a completely different effect to my first card

I drew a line across the card blank with a fine line pen

The birds and sentiment were then stamped in versafine black onyx ink to complete.

Hope you like these simple but fun cards
