A Little Birdie......for Bizzy Bec's new challenge

Hello Peeps - welcome to February!

So glad to see you all....

I was sorting out my stamps the other day

 (as one does when nothing else will come that is creative) and found

I have a lot of Dark Room Door Stamps; but they are either older ones or 

random ones from their $50 packs.

I found I had three repeat stamps (unused) 

You are One in a Melon - sentiment and image

a book pile from Book Worm set

A sentiment regarding women and teabags.......

(Happy to pass them on for the cost of postage plus $5Aust each - 

just email me suhoganatgmaildotcom with address and Paypal access)

I have now stamped onto a cover sheet and inserted it into the box so 

I can see at a glance what is there....

I decided to use the frame stamp for a card 

Darkroom Door - Framed Stamp: Mixed Boxes

for Bizzy Bec's latest challenge

which is always 

"Anything Goes"

I wanted to block in some colour, so I stamped the frames onto white card and 

then used the same ink to stamp onto a post-it note.

I carefully cut out the squares by hand

This gadget fits over my middle finger and makes cutting easy

Once I removed the pieces, I placed it over my stamped image

Being a post-it, it stayed in place but I did carefully hold it which working next

Using my applicator, I rubbed some Oxide ink in graduation colours onto the shapes

Then I stamped some images I have from the set 

Darkroom Door - Stamp Set: Love Birds

I don't have this set - just some pieces from it

I found some old stash (remember this?) and matched it with another TH ink pad

Then I didn't take another photo until I had completed the card

I realized I needed the orange stuff to hide a mistake - can you see it?

An easy card to send to a friend when you just want to say hello

or when you are concerned/happy/inquisitive......

I used my newly acquired Copic white ink to whiten up the eggs and the birds eye

You can see the error a bit better here......upside down acrobatic bird.......

I wrote in this blog that I had some old DRD sets in tins 

and a comment was made about the tins....

Here they are.

So - I used the following to complete this card

Darkroom Door - Framed Stamp: Mixed Boxes

Darkroom Door - Stamp Set: Love Birds

Ranger TH Distress Oxides inks

ripe persimmon, fossilized amber, wild honey, crushed olive

Card by Stampin' Up 

Other - from my stash
