Today I'm sharing a card I made more than a week ago with my new-to-me Songbird Celebration set from Penny Black. I'm loving all the stamps in that set. This is card #2.
Copic colored, Wink of Stella on the colored balloons, a die cut balloon frame with a bit of patterned paper... I'll list all ingredients below. It was a fun card to make!
Since this is first use of these particular stamps from the set I'll send my card over to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #16:
I'm so glad you stopped by today. Sending hugs and good wishes to all!

I can see why you like this stamp set, it is very cute...fabulously designed too. Glad you could get away, it does the soul good!!
It's good to get away from all the news these days :) I love that cute little bird, and what you did with him and that background balloon die is fabulous.
What a wonderful card you have made. So glad I could get to see it. Internet is up right now. LOL
Glad to see your stamping creation. It's adorable and I recognize that desiginer paper, just not sure where it comes from. It's great that you were able to get away for some fun, relaxing time.
pretty. Enjoy your summer and have a great day.
Hi, Leslie - Have fun, summer should be enjoyed, and especially in the lovely environment, you live in! This card is adorable and your fussy cutting amazes me on his little feet and beak!!!! Have fun in your beautiful garden - and so happy you two got away. Soothes the soul, mind, and heart to just step back from it all!! Big Hugs
I am still in summer mode, we have a few more weeks left and I love it! So glad you enjoyed your camping. There is nothing like being outdoors to rejuvenate the spirit.
Love the sweet bird, and all those balloons! A darling design.
I'm glad you got away for awhile camping. It refreshes the mind and soul. This is such a cute stamp set. Love your little bird and the balloon die! Hard to believe August is almost here. Enjoy being outside while you can!
I love it when you do a whimsical card. This one is so cute from the little strip of paper to the cute bird with baloons. The balloon die cut is the perfect backdrop.
What a fun card using this set, Leslie! Love this little bird with his brightly colored balloons! A fantastic idea to have that balloon frame in the background!
Leslie, this is such a cute combination of die and stamp. As always, it's colored beautifully and presented in the neatest "package."
WOW this is a fabulous birthday card ... Love the overall design! I don't blame you a bit for taking a 'summertime break' ... you deserve it!! I've been kind of MIA from my normal crafting routine as well. Sometimes you just need to take that time away to enjoy other things in our lives! I figure there will be plenty of crafting time when the temperatures are bitter and snow on the ground ... so for now I too am enjoying the great outdoors as much as possible ... even if that just means sitting on the deck watching the squirrels and listening to the birds. HUGS and Good Health to you!
Leslie, what an awesome card. I love the repeating of the balloons through the stamped image and the die cut panel. Glad you enjoyed your camping trip. Stay safe.
Oh my, such a sweet adorable birthday card Leslie! I'm loving this set you are using from PB! As always everything just works so well together, from your colours, to the die cut balloon and your little birthday bird, love it all!
So glad you had a fabulous camping trip. I think many of us have scaled back a bit in the card making, so enjoy the summer days while you can. so happy to see your post today. Keep well, hugs,
Oh is that ever cute, I just love the way you colored the bird and such a cute sentiment to go with him. That balloon die cut frame is just perfect with this and love how you used the twine to with them, your addition of the strip of paper to balance off the card looks great!
Adorable songbird, beautifully colored, Leslie. I love your die cut balloons aperture and strip of washi tape too. A fun colorful bird-day card, my friend. TFS Hugs...Nancy

Oh, so cute, Leslie! Love the little birdie. Great coloring, of course, and a great layout.
I too am way behind! As long as you are well and happy just enjoy! Another beautiful card... the little bird is so sweet and I love how you added the twine in your frame.
I'm glad you're truly enjoying summer by being outdoors, and camping, and gardening. There will be plenty of time as the weather cools for you to be indoors stamping.
Your little bird is so sweet, and I love how you paired him with the balloon die. :-)
