For the Birds…

Published by Julia Stainton at 8:49 am under Card Designs

This is one of those stamps I just had to have. So easy to use and such a darling image, I paired it up with a Maya Road felt bird, a little paint and some scraps off my desk. I love this cleaning up the desk kind of cardmaking. Why put it away when it doesn’t take much longer to glue it on?!

Now today is usually a Ways to Use it Challenge post day but I’m taking the day off to spend at the beach with my family. So…..if you want to stamp while I lie in the sun :) make sure you still check out the forums as I’ve lined up a guest hostess for the challenge today. Check it out here and have some fun!

    I love the stamp and the card is just beautiful! It’s inspired me to do a little cardmaking myself today…
