Brrrr. It is cold today! The wind blew, the rain fell and we shivered! When we dared to brave the outdoors! It was an inside sort of day today giving us a sneak preview of the months of winter not too far away! It was also a great day for sleeping in and having hot showers!! Gotta love that!
It was a day for catching up! The bathrooms are scrubbed, the laundry is done and I've finally sorted my folder of photos that I have taken over the last 2 years and merely uploaded onto the computer! I've even ordered some for processing, so I will finally have some photos for scrapbooking! That's a huge achievement for me this year!
Anyway, I just wanted to show you my birdie tree. Inspired by the picture in the new 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalogue (page 11 if you're wondering). Stampin' Up! have done so much of the colour coordination for us, and this one is called 'Retro Fresh" which updates a retro style with a fresh twist. It uses bright, vivid colours and bold patterns featuring flowers and birds. The colour scheme incorporates Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip & Pacific Point.
You might also notice that I have added some handmade felt birds (or quack quacks as Baby Matthew calls them). They kind of matched my paper-crafted birds!
Stamps: Good Friend
Inks: Stampin' Up! Classic Chocolate Chip
Papers: Stampin' Up! So Saffron, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point & Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series Paper (DSP).
Other: Stampin' Dimensionals & white gel ink pen.
As you can see colours are interchangeable. I didn't have Summer Sun CS - so I used So Saffron! I also used the white gel ink pen & Chocolate Chip marker for the eyes!
What I love about this little project - is that I combine different types of crafts. Stamping, collage & sewing/embroidery. A perfect day for wintery weather!
Oh, and by the way. Email me/Contact me if you would like the instructions for making either type of birds. The paper ones or the felt ones!!
