A Colorful Bird-day and a Turkoyce Snowman

Hello Stamplings,

How are you? Are you away from your devices now because we are free to move about the country / school is out / summer is almost here? I don't blame you. 

However, in this neck of the woods, we went from really beautiful spring weather to burn-your-backside-if-you-sit-on-the-step red hot sizzling summer weather. I'm not ready for it, so I'm inside and back to my old vices, on my devices, which is to say I'm bringing you a coupla cards.

I had fun painting these birds. Because we make handmade cards, we can color them howsoever whichway we want to color them. I love that about this hobby. 

The birds who are celebrating pride month on my card above are from a NBUS set from Your Next Stamp called "Happy Bird-day." The little musical notes and the sediment are from the same set. The framing dies are from MFT. Every feather has been winked by Hammy and is a schparkly delight.

Challenges

• CAS Mix Up: Viv has chosen Flight. I've stamped, watercolored, and die-cut. And googlie-eyed.

I have this cool Tim Holtz snowman in an e/f and a stamp and today I used the stamp. I heat-embossed my snow gentleman using Tim's Broken China Embossing Glaze. I had a heck of a time trying to get a closeup of the wonderful shine from the glaze:

The "Snowflake Marquee" die is from Memory Box and the sediment is from GKW. Hammy did a great job (his first time) adding a faint grounding shadow and I munched the corners. That is to say, Hammy did offer to munch the corners and I said sure, but thankfully, I turned back around in time to save the card before he had eaten too much. I couldn't get upset because, I mean, he was munching it after all!

Challenges

• Addicted to Stamps and More: Christmas.
  
• CAS Christmas: Hideko has chosen Snowmen.
  
• Christmas Craft Creations: Heat embossing.
