As I've mentioned before, my New Year's resolution was to use every image stamp I have on a card. These decorative birds, from Hero Arts, are so adorably cute and lend themselves nicely to clean and simple cards. Here's a selection of cards I made so I could check this set as finished.
The first four are pretty self-explanatory, one-layer cards with ribbon. The first also uses a few scored lines as a ground for the bird, and I really like it. I used my Doodlebug Designs glitter or flock to decorate the wings of the birds for a little added interest. Where there is coloring, I used Bic Mark-It markers.
The last card is a bit different and more involved and colorful. The branch is from another Hero Arts set (clear), and all the coloring is with Bic Mark-Its. The sentiment, I think, is a bit too small, but I like how cheerfully colorful this card is.
I hope you are all having a lovely, safe weekend!
ooh, each one is great. love those sentiments with the little bird. you've got the magic touch!

ReplyDeleteWhat cute little birds! I love these! My favorite is the lighter green one (with the "hi there" tag).
ReplyDeleteIt's true: You are the CAS Idol. I'm calling Simon Cowell right now! I'm sure he'll be calling you shortly with a multi-million-dollar contract offer. You deserve it.

ReplyDeleteWonderful cards - elegant and stylish.
ReplyDeleteI have admired this set for a while but didn't buy it because I already have so many other bird images that I don't use. Good for you for not only using them but making so many cards. I like the more monochromatic, one layer cards. Simple and pretty. The colors on the last card are so vibrant and really bring the images up a notch.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely! Clean and cute, what else can a card ask for?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I love them all :-)
