I was inspired by a pin on Pinterest to create a couple of cards:
I stamped the bird from Dina Wakley Scribbly Birds, then stamped a hat from Dylusions Couture Collection Mini Couture. I drew some holly on top of the hat, sloshed some Distress Inks onto the image, then added some splattering.
For the sentiment panels, I dragged some card through the inks on my palette, then stencilled the sentiment using Tim Holtz Schoolhouse.
A few drops of Ruby Red Liquid Pearls for the holly berries, then I sponged the edges of the panel with Peeled Paint, distressed the edges and mounted the panel onto my base card.
He's looking rather dapper, don't you think? And here's his lady friend:
Same process, just stamping a different hat, drawing some holly again, using Platinum Pearl Liquid Pearls for the berries. She's rather sweet, isn't she?

Awe, his girlfriend is so sweet & yes, he's definitely dapper! I really must use my DIs more, one of the first things I ever invested in but they were taken over by other products. Forgotten how brilliant they are. Wish I could afford the scribbly birds, so cute & seemingly versatile. Great inspiration here. Tfs
So even if it isn't yours, the sentiment font is just fabulous, the birds are SO handsome/sweet indeed! LOve the colors you've chosen, Shirley!

This wee bird looks so cute in both cards. Great tut too, I must try these effects
I love Dina's bird stamps and the loose way Shirley used the distress inks to paint them. Great ideas. Thanks.
Lovely and fun image, the splatters look good with it too...
