Hello Friends, How have you been? Sorry it’s been awhile … crazy how time flies. Can you believe that I still have some emails to catch up on š
With that said … I am back to share two cards that are featured onĀ WPlus9’s blog today and I hope you like them.
My goal was to created a pretty background with ease. I love this bouquet and wanted to use it again. (If you want to spend more time coloring the bouquet I haveĀ a video in case missedĀ here.)Ā The “Happy Birds” are so adorable and I love the sentiments in the stamp set.
The birds were perched on a banner from Lawn Fawn and I used my white gel pen to add some dots. I stamped the images on watercolor paper and used the Spectrum markers to color everything including the banner.
You can see a close up of the other card, a few tips on the WPlus9 blog here. A big thanks to WPlus9 for the feature…it’s always an honor.
Thanks for your visit today I am always grateful and thanks for your patience. Great to see you! Hugs, Kathy

I would have never thought to put those two together on a card. But it looks wonderful, and I adore those happy birds. : ) Love it Kathy.
The card is really cute….BUT all I see are birdies with sad faces with that upside down “smile”.
elegant looking card.

I’m so glad you posted today! I followed your 30 day Challenge and one thing that really stuck with me was how you outlined your images with blue. I have done this a couple of times now and your so right! It makes such a big difference! Your card is gorgeous today. HUgz
Beautiful, love what you did with the 2 stamp sets!
This is so beautiful, Kathy, I love how you softened the flowers by putting them behind the vellum, such a neat look!
Oh love the look of this Kathy! Really gives depth ro the scene. Gorgeous colouring technique on the birds.
What adorable cards!!! LOVE the vellum to soften the images!! TFS!
Great idea!! I love those birds since I saw your cards!! beautiful designs!
So sweet… like always! š
Love the dimension, the vellum’ blurred effect, and the texturing on the bird! Great card!
The little birdies are adorable….
Great looking card…I like the bird in front of your vellum…it give a softer look to the card
tfs and well done
It’s an absolutely beautiful card – I love the mix up of the birds and the big flower on the back. Take your time, Kathy, we’ll wait for you š xx
Beautiful cards Kathy!!! I really love that bird stamp set. So cute!
Great cards, love how you used the stamps, Jo x
I LOVE this card!!!
That darkened background behind the flowers really gave them so much depth behind the velum. I wouldn’t have thought that would work at all but you really succeeded! Such a pretty card, but cute, also.
GORGEOUS!!!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
The vellum panel makes for a MAGICAL background – WOW!!!
That background is beautiful Kathy! Love your card. Thanks for sharing.

What an adorable card! I love birds and I love how these don’t look like real birds but they don’t look to cartoony either. The background is so pretty!
I have to thank you so much for the sprinkles and the really fun pencil case with the fun eyes. I showed it to my nephew and he loved it! Now my cookies and pretzels will look so much prettier! I have to send you a Thank You card. You are the best!
I’m doing a lot of coloring and if you check your e-mail’s you will see that I sent you an amazing thing you can do with colored pencils to make them really fancy and then enclose a coloring book. I want to do it for my dad & find some coloring pages he can color. He’s 92 and his hands don’t work as well as they used to. Most of the time all he does is watch TV. He used to make leather things like wallets, hair clips, bracelets, belts, etc. and he used to paint and color them too. He can’t do his leather anymore but maybe with some fancy pencils he will color. If he’s like me, he will have fun doing it. I have a clipboard he can use so he can color when he sits in his chair. You have totally inspired me!
That’s an awesome idea to use the 2 stamp sets in one card! I love it! And your coloring is amazing as usual! ā¤ļø
WOOOOOOW!!!! These are breathtaking, Kathy! You are so so soooo talented. š hugs
Absolutely gorgeous, Kathy!!!
Saw it over at Wplus9 blog. Awesome card!
So pretty Kathy.
You have such terrific inspiration to use the two stamp sets and layering between! Love your gorgeous coloring and hope to try this some time!!
