Bordering on Obsession?

I dunno, friends, I'm doing lots of coloring. Like, a lot. Now that I've joined the 2 Cute Ink Stamp Club, where you get new digis every month, I've been breaking out my Prismacolor pencils a few times a week.

Sure I do it when I'm watching TV, or talking to friends, so it's more multi-tasking than finding new pockets of time, but not gonna lie, I'm wearing down the pencils!

Ah well, there are worse things than printing out these cutie stamps (or the digis I've gotten from A Day for Daisies) and then relaxing with a few while I drink my tea at night...right?

Here are two from the other day. I love this bird, he's going on a birthday card very soon.

And this bunny will be doing Easter card duty soon. So, all this coloring is good for the mind and they'll be sent in the mail to someone, so I guess this obsession is just about right for me. Now, my cupcake obsession? That's a whole 'nother story. But when the local bakery makes the best buttercream ever, can you blame me? :)

Happy Friday!

Birds of a Feather

I won some Tim Holtz Crazy Birds from Karen over at flickr Hero Arts and she included some washi and inks and the day I got them, I had to ink them up.

I used the Cracked Pistachio and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks and stamped. Then I used a water brush to color them with the same inks. I used a pen to add some details and then fussy cut and mounted them on a card base. The Hello die is stickled (that's a verb, right?!) with Diamond and the birds have a touch of Stickles too. You can see that in the close-up.

I just made the grass with the pistachio ink and the sky with Broken China.

These guys are just so fun. They have tons of stamps that you can accessorize the birds with too, which is funny, but I like them fine on their own.

This card I made with a digi stamp from over at 2 Cute Ink Stamps. Love this little guy. The sentiment is made of clear stickers from Kaiser Craft. He's colored in Prismacolor pencls.

Happy Friday, friends! And thanks, Karen, for the fun stamps!
