thingers to share with ya.)
This one's a crow card...
... made with on of these:

And please don't faint on me, but it's
another blog post! (I'm so grateful to be getting better

This one's a crow card...
... made with on of these:
High Resolution Crow labels (300 dpi)
(The one with the sky) printed out & then
heat embossed:
...in clear embossing powder with that Funky I.O. background stamp
again, and tinted around the edges with Milled Lavender Distress
Ink and a Mauve Shadow Copic marker BV00.)
The purple paper on the top is a dictionary page that was also
tinted with Milled Lavender Distress Ink:
The faux window was cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities die Labels 5
& edged with a fine White Sharpie poster paint pen (review by Margaret here).
I picked one up & am really starting to enjoy using it.
It's archival & non-toxic and water-based. Goes onto paper quite smoothly.)
Have you tried it out?

Anywho, the labels started out as this photo of a crow...
...that I took at our community garden this summer.
Tweaked to make this plain label frame:
...It's coupled with the crow from the photo
and a branch I doodled to get this:
Then I filled with miscellaneous stuff to make these...
