Shopping Our Stash #533 - Birds of a Feather

 

Had a day with a little bit of down time today (whhhaaaaattt?????) so I decided to play along with a few challenges including SHOPPING OUR STASH and their latest challenge - "Birds of a Feather" and  SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY challenge #294 - Feather

Some of you may know that I have a weird unwarranted terrifying fear of birds, so I don't have a lot of bird related craft supplies LOL

Last year my crafty friend Christa gifted me a few stamp sets, including this "Dream" set from Lawn Fawn...I knew I had feathers somewhere!

I based my card on this one I found on pinterest:

Here is my watercolour rainbow of feathers (I need to find the coordinating dies now!)

Shite I used to make this card:

• White and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Nocturne Versafine ink (Tsukineko)
• Dream stamp set (Lawn Fawn)
• Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Watercolour brush (Tim Holtz)

Until next time, best wishes, warmest regards...

SoSS #234 - Y is for Yo Mama

Greetings and salutations snarky pals!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Mother's Day is just around the corner for those of us in North America, so we are celebrating all things Yo Mama (interpret how you will).

My card morphed over a few hours, I was very displeased with it and it almost ended up (several times) in the recycling bin (it's only paper right??)

I kept adding to it, adding more ink, more stenciled layers, more watercolouring - meh, I am still not sure it won't end up in the bin...

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Weathered Wood, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks (Tim Hotlz)

SoSS #231 - B is for Bunny

Greetings and salutations snarky pals!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

With spring arriving and Easter approaching, we are celebrating all things bunny.

This is one of my "OMG this took me ALL day to make" cards.

The bunny is from the September 2022 crop & create (which I had not used until now!!), the postcard die is from this past weekend's crop & create event and the sentiment is from a stamp and die set I found at Michael's years ago.

I watched the video from the September 2022 event to watercolour the background, the bunny and the little pill bottle.

Several things went awry in the making of this card and it almost ended up in the recycling.

But I took sooooooo long to do the watercolouring, I couldn't bear to toss it!

A few of the many things I have learned doing crop and create events - friends, it's only paper...and...it's better than horrible!

The little pill bottle, when die cutting, the die shifted, so it has an indent in it...meh...

When cutting the background piece with the postcard die, the little pill bottle die was still stuck on the cutting plate - so there's a pill bottle size hole in the background behind the bunny...meh

Shite I used to make this card:

• White and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Watercolour paper (crop & create Sept 2022 kit)
• Feel Better stamp and die set (Mama Elephant)
• Cheeky Modern Pop stamp and die set (Recollections)
• Seaside Post Wafer Dies (Concord & 9th)
• India Ink Black ink (Hero Arts)
• Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw, Gathered Twigs distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Water colour pen (Tim Holtz)
• Water spritzer (SU)

As always, we would love for you to join the sisterhood and play along.
