In keeping with the “Less is More” philosophy, I created this clean and simple birthday card using Serene Silhouettes, new from Stampin’ Up!
I really like the birds in the tree image that is part of this stamp set. It reminds me of the view I see at our bird feeder every morning. The birds are patiently waiting for me in the surrounding trees as I come out to give them their morning meal. Once they see/hear me come out the door, one of the Stellar Jays sends out a call announcing to the others that breakfast has been served. They barely wait for me to turn my back and walk away and down they swoop.
The background is simple. I swiped a few watercolor crayons on a piece of watercolor paper. Then, mixed them with an aquapainter filled with water. After the paper dried, I stamped the image using black Stazon ink.
