Birds & Bees @ The Artistic Stamper

Hi lovely peeps! Welcome to today's blog post for The Artistic Stamper. 

This month's theme is 'Birds and Bees'. 

The stamps I used from The Artistic Stamper were Neil Walker's A6 Birdz set and Mini Backgrounds #3. 

I started with a white piece of card and added colour using Faber Castell Gelatos. I randomly added a collection of colours to the white card and added some water to blend the colours. 

I stamped one of the mini background stamps from set #3 using black Versafine Ink. I started with 2nd generation stamping so the ink wasn't too dark, and continued to stamp until the ink faded. 

I stamped the birds on to white card with black Versafine ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder. Then fussy cut them out.

Again, I used the same collection of gelatos to add colour to the birds. 

I added a phrase from Tim Holtz 'Small Talk' stickers.

To finish, I mounted the background on to white card to give it a frame, then mounted on to black.  

Thanks for popping by my blog today. 

Toodles for now,
