I have quite a collection of bird stamps, but one of my all time favorites has to be from PB's Winter Wonderland set...it's an oldie but definitely a goodie!! There's 3 birdies in this set (and a few other critters!), and I couldn't resist using all 3 birds! Here's what I came up with...
Aren't they just the cutest chubby little birdies all decked out in their Christmas hats?!! I stamped them in Versafine Black Onyx ink and then heat set with clear embossing powder before coloring them with my Copics. After fussy cutting them out I added them to a stamped branch from The Greetery's Winter Sketches stamp set (using Soft Suede ink - SU!), using foam tape behind the middle birdie for a bit of dimension!
I did add TH Rock Candy Glitter to the brims and pompoms of the birdies hats and then finished with an older W Plus 9 sentiment (Hand Lettered Holiday stamp & die set) that I die cut from a piece of Real Red cs (SU!). I did add a bit of pink chalk to the birdies cheeks as it's pretty COLD here in Michigan at Christmas time!
Lots of BEAUTIFUL inspiration from the DT and their Special GD Bobby to get you started, so play along and get started on those Christmas cards! And a BIG thank you to Loll for bringing this challenge back...I couldn't be happier to be playing along!! This is a month long challenge that's open till June 30th and you can check it all out right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I think I saw these birds first on your blog and immediately went shopping for them! They are among my all time favorites too and your coloring reminds me of why you enabled me! A darling Christmas card, my friend!
Marcia, I can see why these are your all time favorites, they are just as cute as can be and adding the rock flitter to their fir and pom pom really adds that special snow like glisten!
