Two valentines Cards & A Bit of Attitude

I have these bird images from Tiddy Inks and you can get them in a set on the branch or

as individual birds. Each is holding a note so you can resize to what you want to

include on the note. I opened the graphic in Adobe Photoshop so

I could type in the sentiment 'Happy Valentines Day, Love You'.

Splitting the word Valentine made for a good fit. Coloured the birds in

rainbow colours with Copics. Die cut the piece with a Stitch rectangle

die cut then a piece of heart pattern paper next size up.

The die cut here came with an order from Mama Elephant as a Thank you

gift for my order. How sweet is that and looks perfect die cut in gold mirror

card.

I didnt add the die cut sentiment to this card. And decided to colour all

the birds in red. Another heart pattern paper background for this card. Die cut

stitched tags for both cards.

I have followed the Sketch at Freshly Made Sketches with this 

fantastic sketch by Jen

only I changed the direction of the card going Landscape rather

than Portrait. Hopefully thats okay and I have stayed close

enough to the Sketch.

This next card I have used Stella from Bugaboo Digi Stamps

Now  have quite a few of these and haven't used for a while and was visiting

and of course did some more shopping (I know more NBUS) but it

inspired me to get out some images I had printed and needed colouring.

I was looking at things I had coloured a few years ago and not used and suddenly

raised how much I colouring has come along. They really needed to be tossed, 

cleaned out and start again.

I need another Colouring Challenge to catchup and stock up.

Anyway back to Stella I have coloured her with Copics.

Die cut with a curved edge rectangle die then cut the piece of pattern

paper with the same die so I could inset the image.

Love this pattern paper which is a nice golden colour IRL.

I then stamped the sentiment 'Old age ain't no place for sissies' accredited

to Bette Davis. Don't you just love Stella, looks like she is walking past

the window and just paused to drop that comment and walk on......

I have also dug out a bunch of stamps with 'sentiments' with

attitude and thought it was time to share them. Don't look at the crooked

stamping, used the Misti just didn't bother to test first and it is a red rubber

stamp so you cant see if its straight.

I had already done three backgrounds before I was happy so I took

Stella's attitude.... this is no place for sissies.
