Thank You Cards

Ooohh, don't you just love this cute little birdie!! She's from Studio G (cost me $4 at Art Stamps at the Rocks- Bargain!!) I think she's soooo sweet and fun to colour too (coloured here with blender pens and SU inks). I'm bummed Art Stamps is moving to Pymble, they are soo close to me here and its great to be able to pop in before work. Oh well. That just means it's even more of a craft wasteland in my area after we lost Lincraft and the 2 Scrappin shops at North Parramatta. Thank goodness for online shopping :)
Why can't I get out of the groove of using pink papers? I dunno, I need help! I'm sure not everyone wants a pink card but I love using pink. I should take all the pink stuff off my desk for a week and challenge myself to use other colours. I did manage to make one blue/green card (see below) but then I reverted to pink again. D'oh!

I am also loving my Cuttlebug with the Nestabilities dies :) it's so great! Last night I sat down and cut out a whole bunch of rectangles in all different colours so they're on hand when I want to quickly whip up a card. So cool. And I'm slowly using through my massive pile of Prima flowers, as you can see. I'm sure everyone is like me and has about 4 bottles of the things! They are great for cards though.
And here I am back to the pink cards again, and it's my favourite tree stamp from Inque Boutique. There are so many in this brand that I want to get, and at $6 for a set they are the world's best bargain at the moment. The flourish with leaves comes from the set too. The wording is from a Hero Arts set and is actually being said by a little birdie (who I didn't ink up cos he wouldn't fit on the card) who is also very cute. Man I am totally into birds and tree stamps at the moment, I can't get enough of them! I am waiting on Owl stamps from America too so you'll be seeing more birds from me!
Have a great Tuesday!

I love the blue green card! Those colours look very fresh. And the little birdie is soooooo cute!
And yes - lots of primas. I did get rid of a whole lot from a bottle I didn't like by doing a background out of them!

Love the little birdie! So cute! And i love the tree. Simple and beautiful! Good job with the green/blue card too. You should challenge yourself with "no pink for a week" and see how you go. I'd love to see what you do. P.S. If you do, you cant spend the week doing boy cards... thats cheating!! :-)
