Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas!

 

The bird image is from Bird Crazy, Tim Holtz, the sentiment stamp is from Seaside Stampin' Ink 2003, and the music notes paper punch is from EK. The inks used are Memento Tuxedo Black for the bird and hat, Riding Hood Red 2008, for the sentiment, and the paper is Stampin' Up Riding Hood Red. I colored the bird and hat with alcohol markers from Spectrum Noir. The hat image is Sarasota Stamps 2004. The hat was cut out and I inked the edges with a black Sharpie and then adhered with a glue dot. Yes, I am using up my oldies!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas 

and a Healthy, Happy New Year!

CAS, Clean and Simple Autumn Cards, Horse theme, Inktense Pencils

The images and sentiments are from Clear Dollar Stamps. The stamps are small and easy to work with.

I used Inktense Pencils from Derwent to color the images. I just got these pencils and have a lot to learn about them, but so far I like them! They are water soluble ink, and permanent when dry.

St. Patrick's Card, Valentine's Day Card with Crazy Birds...CAS

Here are a few clean and simple cards I made recently. 

Several of the images are from Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamps.

They are fun to color and whimsical.

I added my own hat to this one and an old leprechaun stamp.

Remember to wear green on St. Patrick's Day 

or else a leprechaun will pinch you!

This happy birthday card started with a 

water color background and then the flower 

was stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo ink.

Eyelashes were inked in on this Valentine bird 

and the birthday card below.

Thank you to Pinterest for these ideas!

Bella wishes you  a

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
