Chickadee by the Moon Light

This is one of my most favorite stamps and I pull it out every Winter.  The artist Carolyn Shores Wright created the prettiest birds, and I have three from her collection. I think she was exclusive to Stamps Happen.

I started by stamping the image with Tim Holtz Weathered Wood in on Strathmore Bristol vellum surface.  I like this paper because the texture works well with watercolors, but isn't as heavy as the real watercolor paper.

I am entering my Chickadee in the Double D's Challenge - The Moon and Stars.

Paper: Graphic 45  & Strathmore Bristol vellum

Enjoy Life

Everyone needs a little pick-me-up now and them. This card certainly did the trick for me. I just love the sentiments. And this simple dragonfly image turned out so pretty.

I stamped the dragonfly with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint Dstressed Ink then I used Zig water color brushes on Strathmore Bristol vellum surface paper.  

I just love the sentiment.  Both sentiments are from the Silhouette Design Store. I printed them on a laser printer and then used my laminate machine to add the beautiful blue foil. The photo does not really show off the technique, but trust me it is beautiful.  There are several ways to use the foil and you can watch this video if you think it is something you would like to try.

I am entering my dragon fly in Double D Challenge - Don't Bug Me.  This is my "go to" for inspiration.
