Birds and Berries -- Three Cards

Hi friends!  I took the time to color all the stamps in Heartfelt Creations' Festive Berry and Birdies set which I picked up before the shop closes (at the end of the year I think).  I don't have a lot of Heartfelt stamps, but have admired many sets and this is one of them.  I purchased the coordinating die set as well, and used it on two of the cards I'm sharing today.

They were all so very easy and quick to color.  All three cards have the Spellbinders Fluted Classics Rectangles in common.  The first has a background covered with designer paper, but the image panel itself is clean and simple.



Just a bit of designer paper peeking around the edges of this next one.  I stamped and colored directly on the paper without using the coordinating die.  Coloring is with Copics.  Keeping it simple.



It was a dark day for picture taking.  Rain, rain, and more rain.

The last card is the simplest of all.  However, it has issues as I'm wearing a wrist/thumb brace and it really gets in the way of the finer maneuvers.  We won't even talk about that as I'm here to have fun and all that other life stuff can take a back seat for now.



Be merry and enjoy your day!

  15. Don't you just LOVE these little birdies? I have them and use them a lot (when I remember I have them lol) but mine are with the spring/summer florals vs the Christmas holly ... wish I had gotten that one! Might have to look and see if I can still get one. Your cards are beautifully colored and just awesome with these sweet birds. Lovely designs my friend! (as always!)
