Good afternoon and Happy Veteran's Day. I have my own veteran - Kev served in the Royal Navy way before we met.
I have decided that I am going to take part in The 30 Day Coloring challenge except this time it's only 11 days! This involves doing some coloring every day for 11 days and as i love coloring what a better way to spend some time each day!
My day 1 coloring is using a stamp that I've had a while but not used: House Mouse Birdie Kiss:
How cute are these two!
What I Did:
I colored the image with Copic markers, we have a little flock of sparrows that come for the sunflower seeds in the bird feeder so I decided the bird needed to be a sparrow. Once I'd colored the image I inked the edges with distress ink - which I suppose is another form of coloring.
The card base was matted with coordinating blue card and digital design paper which is also from a house mouse collection.
The frame is from a Gina Marie Die, I cut the image with the same die to get the scalloped edges and then did a second cut with blue card. I adhered the image flat on my card and used foam tape for the frame giving it dimension.
Finally I added some decoupaged flowers, these fit well with the flowers on the backing paper as well as the little ones I colored.
What I Used:
Stamp: Stampendous - House Mouse Birdie Kiss
Stamping Card: X-Press It
Alcohol Markers: Copic
Digital Design Paper: Joanna Sheen House Mouse
White Card for Base: Neenah Solar White 110lb
Blue card: Tonic Studio
Frame Die: Gina Marie - Scalloped rectangle Frame
Flower die and images: Carnation Crafts - Night Scented Stock
Glue: ZipDry
Foam Pads: From my stash
I don't spend enough time crafting just because but I'm hoping this challenge will encourage me to.
I am also entering this card into The House Mouse & Friends Monday challenge - The theme is anything goes with the option of a punch or die - I used 2 dies so I think I'm good!
