Good morning, our first challenge of the year starts today over at
The very easy theme this fortnight is 'Stamp it', we want to see something stamped on the front of your card/project- 'real' stamps or digis are both acceptable...or use both if you wish!
I used a large background stamp from Uniko, stamped it onto white cardstock using versamark ink and embossed with white EP. I sponged shades of blue distress ink over the top and buffed it up with a cloth to let the white shine through. I stamped and fussy cut the not-too-happy Crazy bird and the balloons, added a die cut string tucked under his wing (he'd be even less happy if he lost his balloon!).
Please hop over to Fab'n' Funky to see what my lovely team have created to inspire you- hope to see you there!
Thanks for visiting
Chris

Super fabulous Tim Holtz crazy bird card. I have been organizing my stamps and die cuts recently and found this set and thought oh I need to bring it out again.
The blue sentiment background looks fantastic and makes the colors of the bird and balloons pop nicely. Thanks for playing in our challenge over at Try it on Tuesday!
