Cheers Bird

I use a lot of terms of endearment in my everyday speech as well as in my writing.  Little things like "sweetheart", "love" and "hun" - and some more quirky ones likes "petal", "flower" and "bird".  I use "bird" quite a bit with my mates.  So if I say "Cheers bird", I am saying thank you.

On the subject of thank you, the challenge I made this card for is Tiddly Inks Challenge - Gratitude And Joyfulness  and I have combined the birds from one set of stamps and the perfect sentiment from another.

All stamps are from Tiddly Inks

Pink feathered paper is from Carta Bella "Wildflower" pad

Blue paper is a scrap of Crafters Companion

Dies and punches: Spellbinders Borderbilities and Martha Stewart

Image painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

And that's it, sweet and simple

Hugs, Squirrel xx

Honestly, I'm Not Lion

I treated myself to a session of colouring yesterday, and this is one of the results.

This fabulous chap is a stamp from Whimsy called Jungle Bells Lion

Coloured with Polychromos for his mane, tail tuft and eyebrows but the rest of him

was done with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Sentiment is from a Little Claire set

Matting layer is a sheet of Carta Bella

I had a very happy two hours with him.

Hugs to all
