Sweet & Sour Bird Cage

Have I told you that I love the Aviary stamp set?!?!  Yes, I think it's getting a bit redundant but I will not apologize and keep on using it!

For this card I got my inspiration from THIS card.  I love the doodling on the borders of the card.  I don't usually think to do that but it sure adds a nice effect.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Aviary, A Little Birthday Cheer

Paper:  Sweet and Sour DSP, Basic Black, Rose Red, Whisper White

Ink:  Black Marker, Rich Razzleberry,  Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

Accessories:  Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Black Brads, Glue Dot

5.5 x 4.25 card

Three Cards from a Stack Party

Pedaling Past

This set, Pedaling Past, is from the SU Summer Mini Catalogue. I love this set and it was one of the first I bought from this mini. I think it is very versatile and can be used for a variety of occasions.

The image is stamped on Watercolour Paper and then coloured in with ink and an aquapainter or blender pen. I find that the blender pen gives more of a marker-like effect to the image whereas with an aquapainter it works more like a paintbrush. Also, with an aquapainter, because it feels more like a paintbrush, you seem to have less control and might go over the lines. So I guess it depends on what kind of look you want.

Supplies:

Stamps: Pedaling Past, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Taken With Teal (retired), Pumpkin Pie, Watercolour Paper, Sweet Pea DSP (retired)
Ink: Taken With Teal, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Black Stazon
Accessories: Dimensionals, Orange Eyelets, Crop-o-dile, Corner Rounder Punch
