Nature's Walk and Nest

Wow, what a lot of fantastic entries for our make your mark challenge last week.  This time round at Addicted to Stamps, it's Bingo week to tempt you out to play!

Here what I made:


I combined the lovely nest out of Nature's Nest with the thrush from Nature Walk to create this mini little scene, which I'm rather pleased with, though I couldn't see the card coming together.  The greeting is part of one from Happiest Birthday Wishes (using my marker pens to colour in the bit I wanted).  I think it's all pretty straightforward so I won't waffle on, but do email if you've got any questions.

Supplies
Stamps: Nature Walk, Nature's Nest, Happiest Birthday Wishes
Ink: Basic Black, Crumb Cake, marker pens in Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi and Certainly Celery
Card: Pear Pizzaz (retiring soon - get it while you can!), Soft Suede, Whisper White
Other: sponge daubers, Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon, stamp-a-ma-jig

Here is the bingo grid so you can play along:


I chose circle, free (technique- using markers to colour my stamps directly) and birthday.

A picture to amuse you:

Thanks for stopping by,

  21. Your card is lovely. Your birdie with the nest is so peaceful & calming to see. Perfect colors here too. And got a big chuckle from Nosy Kitty...how cute that was. You must keep your camera handy to get such a candid & funny picture. Tnx for the tip on the retiring Pear Pizzazz...I don't have any of that one. TFS

  22. My first time here... enjoyed the visit! Loved the kitty pics, esp the busy-body one! LOL

    I like birds very much and I'm often drawn to cards or calendars with birdie poses. Your card is one I'd be drawn to.
