Happy New Year to you all. I do so hope 2016 brings you all you want it to. I know I'm looking forward. Have you any goals this year? I'm going to practise my drawing skills, I don't have many so it'll be a challenge, that's for sure.
So we have had a topic of Birds on The Craft Barn Blog.
My first post of the year is bright and cheerful. Using PaperArtsy Lin Brown stamps I've created a family of Birds, to depict my little family. I'll be sending this card to family we don't see often to say thank you from us to them. They are so kind remembering the children at every birthday and Christmas. And I thought it's a good way to express thanks with a handmade card.
I've used a mixture of acrylic paints, stamps, inks, my brand new Inktense Pencils, coffee stirrers and ribbon.
So do hop over to the blog. The full rundown of how I made it is there at The Craft Barn Blog . I sincerely enjoyed making this fun card and will definitely be using paints this way again as this was new to me.
