I have a happy card today and it's with a brand new-to-me Penny Black stamp from the adorable set called Songbird Celebrations. It's dated 2020, but PB has so many new releases I feel like this stamp is already old. I've got a thing for bird stamps, and all the better if they're cute, whimsical birds that can be colored any old which way.
Keeping it simple, I sponged Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron distress inks on a 110 lb white card base. Splattered with water, then added some green sprinkles. Placed my colored and fussy cut image as shown. The sentiment is from another Penny Black set called Be Happy.
I hope this card makes you feel happy. It worked for me! Hugs!

So happy to see your whimsical card today Leslie! I'm just swooning over this, love the little bird house and bird! Your distress background is lovely, great colours, and I like the little flower you added towards the bottom of the card. I just got done work at 8pm, started a new job last week, today is the first day by myself! 12 hr day, and I'm pooped, so needed to check out blogs before turning in for the night. I'm so glad I did, great way to end my day, this does make me feel happy! I don't think I've ever seen this set by PB, I love her stuff, need to check this out. Thanks for sharing this today Leslie, love when you colour! Enjoy your day!
so sweet Leslie, I love your adorably cute bird and bird house. The colour blended in from the one corner is a great way to frame your image :)
Absolutely beautiful, love anything to do with birds and their home.xx
I'm not a bird stamp person...but this is delightful. Love your coloring the inking the little dots of color...you've made it adorable.
What a cute and happy card, yes it made me happy, love whimsical like you do. I kind of miss my stamps right now, but since I don't have them here, I could order some right? Have a wonderful day, we have 3 weeks of predicted mid 80's to 90's, which is very unusual for here as far 'north' as we are!
A thing for bird stamp... me too! Love this whimsical creation and those beautiful flowers... Your cards are always a joy to behold!
I love bird stamps too, Leslie, and this set sits in my NBUS box! I love how you've colored the bird and delightful birdhouse! Coloring just the top corner of the background and the little flowers make this even more whimsical and delightful! You have inspired me to get my set out!
pretty and cute. Have a great day
Super sweet stamp design and I love the wonderful background colors too.
What a sweet sweet card! LOVE your 'put together' and the close up showing the green sprinkles ... what a great idea ... I'll have to remember that! YEP ... I find inspiration with every visit to your blog and can't thank you enough! Keep up the good work and stay healthy! Seems things are on the rise again on this side of the US ... why can't people just behave long enough for this to really settle down ... grrrr! Anyways, hugs and good health to you!
