Hero Arts Decorative Birds

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!
