Hello Crew! Happy Friday!
I have a little "miss you" card to show you today. I fell in love with this Hero Arts Bird Collage stamp awhile back and it's been sitting patiently here on my desk, just waiting to be inked up and this morning, it was finally time!
I stamped the bird directly on a piece of vintage book print and then colored it in with Copic markers. I wanted a colorful, rainbow-y sort of bird. We certainly don't have any birds this colorful in our neck of the woods, though I'd love it if we did! Reminds me of all the amazingly colorful birds we saw in Australia last year. I think I might have a little bird envy! Haha.
A few Hero Arts olive green gemstones were added to give the image a bit of sparkle.
The "miss you" sentiment stamp is from Papertrey's Mat Stack 3 Collection stamp set.
Above and below the bird, I added more strips of vintage book print that I die cut with Papertrey's small scalloped border die. I inked the edges of each scallop strip with vintage touch tea dye ink just to give them a bit more definition.
Here's a peek at the Copics I used, in case you want to recreate this little number yourself.
Hope you have a really great weekend! I'm looking forward to spending some time with my hubs.
Toodle-loo,
