Birdsong

It's been raining here on and off for days now and so I desperately needed to find some crafting time to cheer me up. I'd already said I was itching to get started with the new Birdsong collection from Papermania and, inspired by card designs in the latest magazine by Phill Martin and Melanie Marshall, I made these.

The stamps work beautifully and I was especially pleased with the quality of the large tree. It's a big stamp with lots of details, but it worked well. I also liked that there were some absolutely tiny bird stamps in the set that I used to add extra birds in a contrasting colour.

Challenges:

Simon Says Stamp And Show - Newest Stamp

Craft Your Passion #39 - Anything Goes

My Time to Craft #122 - Up In The Air

Scrapbook Sisters #17 - Anything Goes

I think my next order will have to include a few more bits from this collection. The only non DoCrafts thing I've added to my creations is a little branch on the front of the gatefold card. I couldn't see anything to use instead but there are 2 more stamp sets in the collection and I think I have already spied something in there!
