I love these birds! I've seen some wonderful cards and mixed media creations in blogland using these stamps and, with practise, I hope I can make some equally wonderful creations. For the first outing I'm quite happy with the result! I water coloured the bird using distress inks and created the sentiment using die cut balloons and an alphabet stamp set - not an original sentiment but it always makes me smile!
I used:
Distress ink - Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon and Scattered Straw.
Clearly Besotted Balloon dies
Lawn Fawn Milo's alphabet
Embroidery Thread
I'm going to enter the following challenges:

They're hard to resist, aren't they? (But will you be able to resist the dies and the accessories??) Love the sentiment on your layered balloons.
