DCM Birds, Birds, Birds

The challenge over at Daring Card Makers this week is Birds, Birds, Birds.......Now, a friend of mine Lynne was kind enough to allow me to borrow this gorgeous stamp so that i would have some stamped out ready for future use. However, i wasn't aware that i would find it so difficult to watercolour!!
I have completely messed up on this one, and then tried to correct it by adding some highlights with my Inkssentials pen, and it's just gone from bad to worse!!.......onto the details........

The image is 'Four Little Birds' by Stamps Happen, papers are Basic Grey 'Fruitcake', organza ribbon, flower and little bird house button are from stash, and i've also used my Fiskars 'Elegance' border punch.

I also had a little visitor today who loves to join in with a bit of cardmaking, she is especially fond of glue!!! and loves to stick punched shapes onto cards!......and here is one she made earlier........
Designed by Danielle Rose Houghton
aged 3
(Grandma punched out the shapes and helped me write Mummy!)

Thanks so much for popping in today, i hope to see you soon :)

Hugs

    Well, I think it looks just fine. Mind you those robins look as though they may have indulged in a little too much Christmas pud or wine!

    Aren't you lucky to have such a clever little helper!

    Well done Danielle, your card is lovely too - I bet mummy loved it

    You’re right Carol, that’s one gorgeous stamp but you’re totally wrong in saying that you’ve messed up the colouring in.

    I think it looks just great and I love the added touch of the little bird house…….it’s so sweet, but I think they look as thought they may have a little trouble getting through the door!
