Lovely days.

Good afternoon all and thanks for popping in....it is good to see you at this festive time,,,grab a drink, something to eat and pull up a chair......I do hope that you had a wonderful Christmas.

We had a lovely time and it was so good to spend quality family time,,,and we even had an extra visitor for Christmas lunch...good job that I had my emergency chair ready,,..

I have been busy today making samples ready for next weekend when Barbara will be on our screens once again.....they are all finished and ready for posting tomorrow morning...

So I thought it was a good time to make a cup of tea and have a catch up...

Here is one of my samples from Pauls last show on Hochanda

 

I do love the Bird Row stamps....and as you know I do love to Mix And Match my stencils...

Here is a closer look...

I started with a piece of stencil card and stamped the birds..then added their individual masks...

Then I taped my stencils into place.

First the oval one...

Followed by this fabulous new background one.

Next I added some Distress inks...yes I know ...my favourite colours...

 

I also added a border to match the wooden branch...and added colour to my birds using my Soectrum Noir pencils. ( always remember to leave some white area when colouring in..)

I didn't have the correct colour of card for some matting and layering..so I made my own from some white card and an Alcohol marker.

Then some classic little white dots...and yes ...I do use these so much...

I added the word News from the word chains...I thought it was very apt ....

You see ' it was the little bird who told me '

I really enjoyed making this card....

I wonder what the News is though.....better ask the little birdie..!!!!

Enjoy your evening.....I am off to tackle my ironing mountain....as Mikey is such a love and gave me two huge bags of washing for Christmas......Bless him,,,,,.

Love and hugs ...
