I have two cards to show you today. The first one is the Impression Obsession Ornament Chickadee stamp. This one is going to one of my fellow stamping pals...someone who is evidently BIG TIME into birds and always leaves me such sweet comments when I use this stamp. I hope she likes it. :)

I started with an 8" x 8" piece of Riding Hood Red CS and folded it in half. This size fits nicely into a regular #10 envelope. The Cat Nap image was stamped in Versafine Black Onyx and watercolored with a damp watercolor brush and inkpads/reinkers. The bell was colored with Golden Opal Twinkling H20's. The edges were sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink, mounted against Basic Black, and popped up on thick foam tape from Taylored Expressions. The red rhinestones were all glued down with a small dot of Crystal Effects.
