Hello!

Well hello again!

It's been so long since I shared a card that I almost forgot how to do everything!

Anywho, here's some yadda-yadda about the bits & pieces that went into this one

 ------------------------------------------

The birds were made using this teeny little 'Resting birds' die from Memory Box which I cut out of Glossy Photo paper & coloured with a black copic & a white gel pen.

The wire that they are sitting on is thin floral wire coloured with a grey copic marker & stapled on with a Tim Holtz tiny attacher.

The 'hello' speech bubble is a sweet lil'

 free Silhouette .studio cut file, from here:

...made by Christine Newman (Listgirl)

(I can't stop using it on everything!)

 ------------------------------------------

The turquoise & beige stamped background is made using Hero Arts & BasicGrey Sweet Threads stamp, white ink & a prismacolor pencil.

The white debossed dot background is made by embossing this Seeing Spots Cuttlebug folder and then tracing inside the dots with a silver prismacolor pencil.

The silver background is made by adding silver-leafing to Silhouette's printable sticker paper then sanding it and adding black ink & doodling to distress.

There's a SCS tutorial linked in this old blog post:

 
(the striped paper is there as a freebie, if you like it)

P.S. there's a video showing how to do the doodling thing in this post, if you missed it 'back when'.

By the by, Miss Mouse is doing well. We're still not sure what it was that was bothering her. Odd! And though I'm still having computer troubles, I do hope to blog a couple times in April. I'm writing final papers and exams for a University course (and oh how I would rather be here with You!) ;-)

Hope you & yours are doing wonderfully!
