Sunny Days card

I love this stamp by Inkadinkado - it's just so cheerful!  I stamped it and then colored in some parts with sparkly pens.  The background was cut with the Artfully Sent CTMH cartridge - which I love because it has SO many backgrounds and shapes you can cut.  I was telling my one friend that I think it's a lot less expensive to buy the cartridges with 700 images for $99 then to buy each die for $20.  And you get the added benefit of getting to cut them at ANY size you want too.

This blog was inspired by Nancy Keller's tutorial on Scrap Happens where she teaches how to make these bird cards from the Art Philosophy cricut Cartridge through Close to My Heart.  So I wanted to give Nancy a shout out and say THANK YOU.  If you want to check out her bird cards, you can click on the link below:

I had so much making these cards and experimenting a bit.  And here is what I came up with....

I made this one first and added the different shade into the wing and kept the saying in RED

Then I made this and cut the white paper a bit more fancy, kept the wing the same color but popped it out some and changed the saying to GREEN.
