At first I was going to make just a single layer card and leave the other birds black and white, but that looked funny, so I added some layers and made the rest of the birds a paler pink. The puddle is from "Just So Hoppy"...Short post today as I am super busy getting ready for CHA AND my new rubber for our next release came yesterday!! Yippee!!! Do you wanna see it early???
HEE hee, made you look! That's what's left from ALL the sets! (This was my first release to get to use my Tim Holtz scissors on several sets at once, last month the scissors came after I got my sets so I'd just practiced with them on scrap rubber. I have to tell you, after trimming a few sets, I had to stop for a moment and ponder what "might have been" if I'd gotten these a few years ago(while staring at my poor, ugly right hand!!) oh well, onward and upward, I have them NOW and they are FABULOUS! :)
BTW Have you heard the Gina K Designs release will be on the 24th this month ?(next Thursday) I am so freaking excited to reveal my new set!!! Sneak peeks start next Tuesday! (I made 9 cards last night!! But none I can show yet, :( So, I have no CLUE what I'll share tomorrow since I'm so busy playing with the new top secret stuff, but I'll come up with something for you!) and be sure to come back this Thursday for my last week with Jessica as my Guest Designer!!!
*If you've never masked, just stamp your image on scratch paper and cut out. Then cover each of your stamped images and then stamp another one overlapping and remove the mask. Be sure to save this mask for other projects!
Good to see you're tending your flock Melanie!!! Super cute! Love that you coloured your focal images a little darker! Super duper cute!
ReplyDeleteLove this card!!! Your flamingos are perfect!! The pinks are so much fun!!

NINE cards?!? Wow, you must really love your new stamps! I can't wait to see them. Oh, why or why does CHA have to hinder the release? Darn CHA! LOL, of course I wouldn't be saying that if I got to go too, lol!
