Hi stamping friends and welcome back. Today I have a blast from the past for you in the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds Water colored.
NOTE – If you are reading this in an e-mail – please CLICK HERE to visit my blog to download the free PDF file for today’s card share.
I have not played with these stamps in FOREVER – But – the Wednesday Challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Blog this week, is Masculine Cards and they are showcasing Tim Holtz Products…..so I happily dug these Crazy Birds out and had some watercolor fun.
Colors for the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds Water colored:
I used my Gansai Tambi watercolor set for today’s card:
- Purple Bird: #34 and #139
- Blue Bird: #55 and #57
- Green/Yellow/Blue bird: #62, #61 #43 #51
- Background: #43, #51 and 55
- I used my Misti to stamp the birds in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink (it’s waterproof) onto the Canson Watercolor Paper.
- I colored my Crazy Birds and once they were dry, placed them back into my Misti and over stamped in black again to refresh the lines.
- Next, I cut them out with the coordinating dies.
- For the card front I water colored onto a piece of Ranger Watercolor paper. When it was dry, I attached it to the mat with 1/4″ Scor Tape and then to the card base with Foam Tape to add a little dimension to the card..
- I White Heat Embossed the sentiment and attached it.
- I die cut a black flower silhouette from the Wildflowers dies for a little “background noise” and attached it using the Tombow Multi-purpose glue.
- Then attached my birds using Foam Tape…..
BAM – I’m done….fast and easy and so much fun…Give them a go, bet you can’t color just 3!….
