Hello there
How are you all today? Well, I hope. Normally I don’t have a card for release day, but I did make an extra card this month. It’s something a bit different for me, but I had coloured a few of the budgies from Budgie Buddies and I thought they looked too colourful to not make it onto a card. So I went for a very simple layout for my last card this month
In the flesh the birds are more green than yellow, but of course in real life, budgies can be either! I had simply stamped and coloured three of the same bird, coloured them with Copics and cut them out. The Copic numbers are as always, listed below.
I positioned them on the panel and then stamped the sentiment before adding some foam tape and sticking them down. The sentiment is one of those that you can mix and match and comes from Mini Calligraphy, one of the sets being released today.
The panel was then matted up onto green and then blue cardstock and then onto an A2 white base. I added some Tonic Nuvo Aqua Shimmer to their bellies and some Crystal Glaze onto their beaks and that was all. Simple but pretty and of course relatively quick to pull together if you don’t faff around for ages like I always seem to 🙂
And here is a reminder of some of my other cards for this month.
All the sets will be released tonight at 8pm GMT both at Clearly Besotted here in the UK and over at Simon Says Stamp. The links below won’t work until the sets go live.
We really hope you have enjoyed the teasers and the release and look forward to seeing what you create. A HUGE thank you as always for visiting, for any comments you make, I read and love all of them. If you have a little time, please hop over to Stephanie, Keren and Michelle.
I will be back soon with another project to share with you. Have a great weekend folks!
Copics used: RV02, RV10, RV000, Y08, B0000, B000, B00, YG00, YG01, YG03
