I’ve been playing with more adorable Purple Onion Designs rubber stamps. I have a real soft spot for Stacey Yacula’s little birds, and I love how today’s sweet and simple bird card turned out!

Sweet & Simple Bird Card

While I love making a scene (ha!), sometimes it is fun to keep things really simple. Here I decided to make the sentiment the focal point, and have the little birds drawing you in.

Sweet & Simple Bird Card - Purple Onion Designs Rubber Stamps

Stamps Used: Robin (flying striped-t bird) , Finch (sitting striped-t bird), Essential Thoughts Sentiment Set

I masked and stamped the images on Winsor & Newton Bristol Board* before doing some Distress Oxide* ink blending (Tumbled Glass) through a stencil, then colouring with Copic Markers and coloured pencils.

Copic Markers Used:

Birds: E41,E31,E71 / E0000,E30,BV31 / YR23 / W00,W3,W5

Coloured Pencils Used:

Caran D’Ache Pablos* in Dark Carmine, Purple, Light Purple – to add stripes to t-shirts.
