Edited to Add… in case you noticed the double As in the sentiment… I added a bird over one!  Here’s the new photo…

Hi again! Another fun sidekick die from poppystamps.  I’m not sure I did it justice but I had fun!

I die cut the frame in a piece of woodgrain pattern paper. Colored over the flower pot parts with Copic markers, BG53, 57, YG 25, 17, YR18, E99 and the birds with BG53, 57, E57, E99. I die cut the frame from a piece of cardstock and glued the pattern paper to it, making it sturdier. Then adhered it to the cardbase.

I die cut the vines in white cardstock and colored them with the same greens, YG25 and YG 17.

I stamped a sentiment from the poppystamps Birthday Blowout clear stamp set.  Then on the inside I’m going to stamp ‘celebrate your day’ and ‘happy birthday’ from the same set.  I LOVE it when there’s sentiments that work together in a stamp set!

I put Glossy Accents on the pots and left them to dry…then decided it needed something else, so I stamped in the white dots very carefully.  hmmm… not sure I should’ve but to late now! haha

Here’s an iPhone ‘before the dots’ picture.   WOW, we got new phones and man does this thing take good pictures!  All I did was crop, resize and put my name on it!  whoa! (a little different color tone)

Even as good as the photos are… it’s still better IRL!  😀
