It's challenge time again!
I was so pleased when I recently had my card chosen as Challenge Winner over at Seize The Birthday, and now I'm absolutely thrilled to be a Surprise Party Guest for their latest challenge.
As always the theme is Anything Goes - Birthday and for Challenge #272 the optional 'topping' is ......
Add a Sky
The brand new Tweet Life stamp and stencil sets from Concord & 9th just happened to arrive in the craft room this week ..... great timing or what!
I just had to give these little guys a try ..... how cute are they!?
I used Distress Inks and one of the stencils to create the bodies of the birds ....... Peacock Feathers, Spiced Marmalade and Twisted Citron
All the finishing details came from the co-ordinating stamp set ........ simply stamped onto the birds with a black Versafine Clair ink ........ how easy is that! The stamps line up perfectly with the stencils.
It's a fabulous little collection, 5 stencils to create 11 different bird shapes, nine small ones like those above, and two larger birds, and the matching stamps include all the little details to bring your birds to life, along with a whole host of sentiments.
To add the sky I used a cloud stencil from MFT and Salty Ocean Distress ink onto a separate piece of white card
To finish off I added some enamel dots here and there in matching colours.
Thank you again to Seize the Birthday for inviting me to be a Surprise Guest, it's been an absolute pleasure!
Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the rest of your day.
As its the first time I've used these fun stamps and stencils, I'm linking my card up to the NBUS Challenge #55
This may be the first time I've used them but, I can guarantee it won't be the last ...... I love them!!
Cheerio until next time ........

I love how you've incorporated the sky in your card. The birds look fabulous and I also love the partial die cutting. It's a tweet tweet card!! Thank you so much for this cute card!
Those little birds are so cute, sounds like a great stencil and die set! Love how you've added the sky behind them too, thankyou for guesting with us, Cathy x
OMG! I need that set! I was too slow off the mark when it was first released so I’ve got to wait for restocks. Thanks for being our guest designer with your fab card for the sky challenge.
I've been admiring these birds online. I love the way you cut them out. So very creative.
