You Are So Tweet

there're so many Challenges going on at the moment I think where everyone is

hoping that Spring is knocking at your door. For us Autumn is here and

the indicators are that the days are getting shorter and the nights cooler. There is

still plenty of heat and birds are all around my house singing so I am pretending

Spring is Sprung.

My inspiration for this card is the  Muse Card Challenge #210

This wonderful card by Anita is such a delight and as I looked at

it I could see what I wanted to do instantly. 

I loved the heart embossed background and have a heart background folder but its

smaller so I fiddled around until I got the background I wanted.

I stamped these cute images from Taylored  Expressions on Linen card stock

then coloured very lightly with Copics going for soft pastels. First time I have used

these stamps, so bad. I am working on it, everyday hopefully you will see

this being used again soon.

A little bit of masking so I could add three birds and splashes as its only one bird

that splashes. The other two birds are 'love birds' and I didnt use them. I added a

wee bit of Wink of Stella to the water drops and the water in the birdbath.

This set comes with a die for the bird bath and the bird. You know what I love

about Taylored Expressions stamps. The picture you can see here is a hard plastic

and the stamps can stay on the back for storage. The only thing Im not so

keen on is that they are rubber (I know a lot of people prefer this) but its harder to

line up things and make sure they are straight. But thats what the Misti is for.

So here it is all finished. My inspiration was the heart embossed background,  The separate

layer with the birds and birdbath, the soft colours. 

Love this little spike thingy, I think its for flowers but I have seen people use them

before to hold cards up. Works well but have to watch you don't wreck the card as your trying

to wedge it.
