Breezy Bird

 I have many favorites sets.  However, I chose this set because it is so versatile.  You can make something fun and cute or fancy and elegant.  Below is a card I made just this month using the bird.  I don't  care for birds IRL, but I love this bird.  It's just so pretty! 

Now don't forget to leave a comment stating that you found my favorite stamp set.  Also, to qualify for my additional giveaway you need to email Priscilla and get her address so that you can send her your completed challenge cards.  All cards will be donated to the cancer patients at The Toledo Clinic.  Please include a new, non sealed , non addressed envelope with each card.  You may sign you name if you wish.

Now head on over to DEE'S blog for more hunting:)

Just a quick post today. I feel like each morning when I get up the shotgun fires and we're OFF!

Another busy day with errands for home and for the school. I'm "Popcorn Lady" again tomorrow. I guess there are worse things the kids could call me.

I made a card today that uses Beate's Weekend sketch again. I made this for the Verve Project Parade. I haven't participated in any Verve challenges in sooo long. I love Verve stamps! They are the first set of acrylics I ever tried. Julee has the most elegant images and beautiful quotes. You should play along. There is a chance to win some VERVE BUCKS!

My card also using the Faux Suede technique featured on Monday's Splitcoast Technique challenge. Admittedly, the little bit of the techinique that I used was not my original thought. That never worked out. (That seems to be the case as of late) So I used what was left of my "suede" paper to make the little twig that the bird is standing on. This card has an over abundance of pearls. I lost several of them trying to pick them up and put them on. I almost lost an eye in the process. Who says stamping isn't dangerous? The other thing that I love about this card is that I used THREE different stamp companies. I think it is so wonderful how they all "worked together" to complete this card.

Hope you have a fun day!
