 wee inklings FMS726 Spring is Here

My friend Colleen (you can visit her blog HERE) makes the BEST vintage-style cards and I've been so inspired by her creations I just had to create one myself! I used the sketch from FMS: and pulled out an old stamp from Artistic Outpost called Birds of a Feather:
I stamped my bird once on a Basic Beige tag, then again on a scrap, and fussy-cut just the bird, popping it back up on the tag. I added some scripty words and speckles, some shading, a wee bit of Old Olive coloring and a hand-dyed shabby seam binding ribbon:
My papers are from Prima's Farm Sweet Farm pad. On the inside, I used a couple of older Crafty Secrets stamps for some birthday wishes. I miss Crafty Secrets AND Artistic Outpost; they made great vintage images!
And since this is a birthday card, I am entering this at Krafty Chicks as well:
Speaking of birthdays, we were finally able to celebrate the first birthday of my great-niece Ava. Every time the party was scheduled, it snowed! Her aunt Kelly, who is the "Martha Stewart" of our family, created these cakes for the big day; one for Ava (and her brothers) to smash, and one for the adults! They were beautiful! Isn't she a cutie:
Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
