More is More

Why is it that some of my most fun and creative stamping takes place when I know I should be doing something else?  Sort of a *guilty pleasure* thing.  Today I had some specific tasks to accomplish like paying bills and get samples ready for the Technique Class I’m teaching Friday night.  But as I walked into my stamp room to put R.B., our Green Wing Macaw, in his cage I spied some A Muse note cards sitting on my desk and this card suddenly popped into my head.  I felt like I would explode if I didn’t sit down and make it right then!  It was a fairly quick card and I was super happy with how it turned out.  And so…I never did completely finish my class samples (they’re almost finished), and so I was paying bills at 8:00pm.  I really do need lots of birthday cards, so I actually did accomplish something…even if it wasn’t on my list!

Card base is an A Muse note card from an assorted pack I have and the little white panel with the pink flowers is also from A Muse – an assorted pack just that size for layering on cards.  The Rose Red designer paper is from the new SU Palette Prints 6×6 pad.  I love that pad!  It’s so much prettier in person than the pictures I had seen.  The birdie image is from Magenta and as you can see it is a row of 4 birds.  I inked just one of them and stamped it on Whisper White cardstock.  Then I stamped again on the Rose Red dp and cut out and adhered over the white bird.  I stamped one more time on Pretty in Pink cardstock and just cut out the wing and adhered it on top.  The birdie was finished off with A Muse Creative Candy twinkle rhinestone stickers on his tail and a little swath of pink marker to ground him.  Mega Scallop Circle in the Rose Red dp (other side of the same sheet) was pierced all around and dotted with a white gel pen.  Sentiment is from the SU set It’s Your Birthday.  Ribbon is from Fabric Barn in Long Beach.

 Hopefully I wil have some class samples to share in the next day or two.  Thanks for stopping by.
