Tuesday Challenge - Birds and Bees
So, let me tell you about the “Birds and the Bees“…… there’s a song that goes like that but instead of killing you with my singing ability how about a little cardmaking and stamping instead? Jacksonbelle Embellishment’s weekly DT challenge was - anything we wanted - I’m still hooked on these Inkadinkado stamps - I’m just lovin them!!!
Card Details: Cardstock: “Solar White” (Neenah); “Berry Sorbet” (PapertreyInk); Pattern Paper: “Happy Day” (Chatterbox); Rubber Stamps: birds (Inkadinkado); sentiment (AMuse); Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine); Accessories: Felt trim and embellies (Creative Imagination); colored with Prisma Pencils - no Gamsol - used Dave Brethauers’ coloring and blending techniques.
Card Details: Cardstock: Saffron & Black (SU); Solar White (Neenah); Pattern Paper: “Dusty Windblown” (GCP Studios); Rubber Stamps: bee (Inkadinkado); sentiment (AMuse); Ink: Graphite Black (Brilliance); Accessories: Zig-Zag Stiches rub on tape (daisy d’s); black brads (American Craft); Desert Marigold corduroy button (Bazzill Collection); border punch (Martha Stewart); Sunflower Glitter Paint (Shimmerz)
There you have it - all you ever needed to know about the “Birds and Bees” - now, if there are any more questions - - well, you need to go find your Mom.

What a great couple of cards, Lila! I love these birds, especially. I went to Lindsey’s a while back to buy them but they were out of stock at the time so I bought several other bird stamps instead. Well, gee, what was I supposed to do? Incredible coloring with those Prismas–wow!! I have to keep looking…no Gamsol…amazing!
