Hi there! I'm glad to see you today. I've done a little watercoloring for the CAS Mix Up challenge. They're asking for "Things with Wings" and watercolor must be featured on the card somewhere. My thoughts went straight to bird stamps because I've got a bazillion of them, and it just happens that the one I used today is seeing ink for the first time. Yes, it's been in the basket for a while and, as always, I now wonder what took me so long to get around to it.
The stamp is from a Woodware set called Bird Blocks. I love it. There's another one in the set that's also very cool and interesting. It looks black, but actually I stamped in dark gray, then over that with Versamark. Watercolored with Tombow markers. The dies are older from my stash and are listed in the recipe below.

What a great stamp, I love that plump bird, he looks happy!! Beautiful card design too!! I have so many NBUS (stamps and such) that I finally had to put it away and start over, such an addiction to buy new, oh well it keeps me happy...hah!!
Fabulous card. I love that big bird stamp and the way that you watercolored the background. You always know the right thing to do when you are creating.
LOVE what you have done with that stamp. It's so rustic, you have really enhanced it perfectly. Great design too, simply fabulous!!
very pretty. Have a great day
That is a great stamp and I love how you have added colour to it, it softens the solid images beautifully. What a lovely and slightly different way to frame it too. Very effective. I shall try to remember the idea. Great to see you in the CAS Mix Up gallery too xx
BEAUTIFUL creation (as always) my dear friend! You are just so, so talented! I received my birthday card today ... what a sweet creation and I just love it! I have it displayed on the room divider along with a few others I received from crafting friends today! So nice to know you are loved!! HUGS
Gorgeous heat embossed and watercolored bird image, Leslie. Loved your CAS card design too. So pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up Things with Wings (W) Challenge, dear friend. Love and Hugs...Way to hot up the river today. The house is cool though:-) Nancy
What a great block stamp! I love all the colors. You have so many bird stamps. I love seeing how you create with them! Have a great week!
Awesome image, beautiful card! Love your watercolouring on this. It's just enough to make your bird pop! You always have so many unique stamps Leslie, some of them I think to myself, I would of never thought to do that with the stamp. Love how you did the Hello, and the leaf finishes it off perfectly! Have a wonderful day!
What a cute little chubby bird! I love the way you colored her and also the way you finished off the card - so perfectly.
Oh, she's a beauty, Leslie! Such a fun stamp and you've framed and colored her well!

Ohh!! This sweet little bird is adorable, I love the way you colored it, the body highlighted in black stands out against the leafy background beautifully.
Thank you for sharing.
Stay healthy and safe.

What a great stamp, Leslie! I don't think it will wait very long before it gets another inking! Beauitfully colored too! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
that is a cool image, and I like the foliage with it, and how you added more to go with your cool sentiment with the die cut, like how you did the frame and the sentiment below, pretty blending of the colors!
What a fabulous stamp and you've watercoloured it beautifully. Love the litle die cut leaves too. Thank you for playing along with CAS Mix Up!
So dramatic, Leslie! All of your elements work so well with this card...and of course, your coloring of the image is beautiful.
Beautiful CAS design, I like the die cuts you have used and the image is perfect for this months challenge, thank you for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
I love this CAS design, Leslie! The bird is fabulous, The contrast in the image with your soft watercolors and the bold gray is lovely! Who know why we wait so ling, but challenges cause us to pull things out, don't they?
