Happy Bird Day!

Greetings! It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week the TFS team is showcasing PaperArtsy's wonderful mini stamps and mini stencils. They might be small, but they pack a big punch! I have quite a nice collection of these little treasures so I had a hard time deciding what to use. In the end, I decided to make a birthday card as those are always useful.



Using a stamping platform and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko, I stamped the Royal Bird (Kate Crane Mini Cling Stamp KCM004) twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper, which was fussy-cut and placed over its counterpart on the image panel. 

The cupcake (Zinski Mini Rubber Clling Mounted Stamp Zini25) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink slightly to the right of the royal bird so that the top layer would be close to his beak. Again, it was stamped again on repositionable sticker paper, which was fussy-cut and placed over its counterpart on the image panel. 

The chef bird (Zinski Mini Rubber Cling Stamp Zini27) was positioned a little off kilter so that his toque would be behind the cupcake. And don'tcha know that the cupcake was also stamped a second time onto repositionable sticker paper, fussy-cut, and used to mask the chef on the image panel. 

A ruler was placed horizontally over the base of the image panel. Pink Copic-friendly ink was sponged over the ruler and the masked images to color the background. 

Starting on the left side of the image panel, Copic-friendly inks were sponged over the shaped apertures of the Hot Picks Mini Stencil PM021 and over the masked images. I continued this until I had a nice rainbow of cool shapes on the background.

The ruler was moved to cover and protect the top part of the image panel. Grey Copic-friendly ink was sponged over the bottom of the stencil and the bases of the masked images to ground them. 

The ruler and masks were removed and the images were colored with Copic markers, then highlighted with a white gel pen.

Blue Belle VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp the sentiment on the top left. 

The image panel was adhered onto a grey A2 card to finish up the project.
