I fell in love with this Hero Arts bird called "Wise Bird" . I tucked a woodgrain heart safely under his wing to deliver a message to a special friend.
The Pinstripe background was used several places. I stamped it in Soft Pool ink behind the bird & in white ink on the Spellbinder frame.
Before you cut your images put Glossy Accents on them. (The GA gives the image more structure.) I left a boarder around the images when I was trimming the leaves & branches. The wise bird was colored with Copic markers & I used a white gel pen on the wings & his chest. Enamel Accents on the eye. The sparkles on the heart are Rock Candy.
I love the Leafy Vines and used it to decorate my flower pot die from Spellbinders. Some distress ink really made the vines stand out.
For this card I created a bird house out of the flower pot with Hero Arts "Sunshine Papers". This heart die cut from Simon Says delivers another special message. I stamped the heart with Hero Arts "Leafy Vines" and a sentiment. The Pinstripe background was used again on this card but, I used it with the lines going two different directions. So fun!
This Wise Bird was colored only with distress ink. White accents were added with a gel pen. Enamel Accents were added to the eye again.
One last card...a fun, quick and happy card.
One last card...a fun, quick and happy card.
Yes, I had to use the Pinstripe background just one more time. It was begging to be colored!
I stamped the flower in Hero Arts "Grape Juice" ink and sprayed this on the flower...it has a wonderful soft sheen. In the center dots I added Enamel Accents again. (Always practice on some scrap paper first)
The pinstripes were colored with Copic markers. This 40lb vellum was placed on top for a softer look. The yummy ribbon is a twill chevron 3 pack.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 517 Newer› Newest»Kathy your work is always outstanding! I've admired your work for some time now. I just purchased my first set of Copic markers, and I think I will have to browse your blog for wonderful inspiration!
Your cards are so bright and cheerful! I love birds so the bird cards are really great! I love how you used the flowerpot!
Gorgeous creations Kathy! I love your color combinations!

Love the birds! Great coloring-amazing!
Wowzers! Love what you did with the glossy accents on the branch & leaves, Kathy! Makes it so dimensional...and life-like! :) Beautiful work! So thrilled to be hopping with you!
Those are some nice stamps and great die. What a lovely card they made.......well, you made with the supplies.
WOW ... beautiful examples. I especially loved how you used the pinstripe background in two totally different ways. This certainly showed its versatility. The flower pot die is pretty amazing too. Thank you so much for sharing.

your works always AMAZING,Kathy! Gorgeous project,Sista!
One of the first images I saw from the new catalog was the "Leafy Vines" and I of course immediately fell in love with it. It's a beautiful stamp and it looks amazing on your die cut pot. I love the dimension in your "Wise Bird" piece, all the different components really bring it to life. Thank you for sharing your two cards with us and for the inspiration I'm leaving with.
birds are my favorite card-making subject. these are great. thank you for the chance to win.
I love love love the pinstripes!
I really liked the vine done on the flower pot, and the heart tucked under the bird's wing! Thank you!

You never cease to amaze me my friend. Wow and so many beauties to see. Love them all and the detail is outstanding, but I knew that it would be. Just love how you can take an embellishment like the heart beneath the birds wing, and not just colour it, but stamp it out of this world, adding texture and depth and make it beyond just a plain heart. You rock lady!
Kathy, I love the birdie and the heart message tucked under his little wing!

I love the details! Super card - thank you!
Your cards are lovely. I love your attention to detail and your emaculate coloring.
Hi Kathy, This is my first visit to Hero Arts and the Blog Hop via their site. After seeing so many comments it's hard to say something that hasn't already been said, but here goes. I love the birdie with the heart under its wing. Reminds me of the saying "wearing your heart on your sleeve" only this would be "on your wing". Beautiful 3D effects with the branch and very clever use of colour. (Sorry I'm an Australian and we spell it that way) :o) Gorgeous all round effect. I'm partial to birdies anyway. Have a wonderful day! Helen (Lillyput Crafts ...blog)
Love these cards. They are beautiful and clever.
Wow! These cards are fabulous!

I am a horrible blogger but managed to get the picture on my blog but had trouble linking your blog to my post. I copied the url but when you click the link it goes to "Page not found" but your blog is one of the options to go to. Weird.

Because I just love these stamps and die, I have put the photo with a link back on my blog.... Hugs, Gerrina
Wow! I love your birds! The coloring and the way they were each holding the hearts in a different way! I have never seen the pinstripe before, so that is now on my list!
I had to look twice at the 2 cards because the bird looks so different. Thanks for showing at the end all the items used in making the cards. With temps rising to 31 today the cards remind me spring will surely come. tfs
