Hello Birdie!

I finally took the time to play with this adorable Hero Arts Clear Design set. It's called Trees, Birds and Messages .
I first stamped the branch, bending it slightly to get the shape I wanted. That's one of the wonderful things about clear stamps...you can shape them right on your Acrylic Block .

After stamping the branch, I stamped the bird, perching him right on the branch. Since the stamps are clear, I could see exactly where his feet were going. Do you see how they fit, slightly overlapping the branch?

I colored the stamped image using Tombow markers and a blender pen in colors to match my designer paper. The background paper is from the Memory Box Aerial Paper Collection . Isn't it gorgeous?

I'll tell you a little secret...the placement of the ribbon is to cover up a little boo boo. Apparently I had makeup or something on my fingers. Just as I was putting the finished project together I got a smudge on the white bird panel. So I used my SU! slot punch and ran my ribbons through it to cover the smudge. I love it when I can recover from a major blunder. It doesn't ALWAYS happen that way!

I used two shades of green satin ribbon, both from May Arts . And of course I had to add a little Hero Arts bling!

Thanks for stopping by tonight!
