Two Tweet Bird Cards!

Have a Tweet Day!!

I admit - I'm feeling a bit of spring fever. I'm so glad it's March - It's been such a cold yucky winter and I can't wait for it to be spring. In anticipation of spring today I 'm share a couple fun cards I made using the new mini 3 x4 stamp set, Tweet Talk!  Here's the set - Isn't it adorable?

And here is the first card I made - Did you know that funny little stamp that looks like a weird shaped "o" is for making a loop to hang the houses from the branch? See how cute that is?

Sometime's when I'm on a roll with a color palette I'll make a couple of cards that use the same paper/colors - and that's what happened here. I started out by stamping some images on watercolor paper using archival ink (waterproof) and then colored the images with Distress Markers and a water brush.  I chose a color palette of melon, yellow, green and blue and then found some paper and sequins that matched!  For the first card I created a scene with one little birdie on a branch.

For the second card I created a similar scene but this time instead of one bird, I chose to use two (Isn't it fun how this set has two little birds that can face each other?) Then I stamped a house for them and used the "you're tweet" sentiment.

I added on some burlap and a doily along with the patterned paper and sequins for this one! I really love how these two cards turned out!

Doesn't this make you ready for spring? I can't wait to open the windows and hear the birds singing!

    1. Hi Stephanie - The paper is from "Simple Stories" and is called Vintage Bliss. It's a 6x6 pad.
