Drunken Stampers #117 - "The Sound of Music"

It's time for another fun and fabulous challenge at Drunken Stampers! Check it out!


I went with inspiration from the word 'music'. I love the stuff! When I flipped through my stamps these stamps stood out - the music sheet background from Hero Arts and You Will Find Refuge from Our Daily Bread Designs. The matching Black-Capped Chickadee die made quick work of fussy cutting the Copic colored image. Some Distress Ink effects and die cutting were all that was needed to finish off my CAS design...


I hope you'll join us!

Happy Crafting!!
Barb xx

Barb, what a GORGEOUS card! I loved how you added the blue die cut to make the bird stand out while keeping bird in the same colour scheme.
Like WOW!!

That is actually one of my favorite movies of all time! :-) Your card is gorgeous! I wish I had more time to just "play"! I would love to join in this week! What a fun theme!

Oh em gee. this is PERFECTION. Absolutely gorgeously breathtaking! I love that chickadee, and the blue mat makes her pop right out. I love it!

Jaw dropping, mouth watering reaction indeed! Holy Moly woman what are you up to down there or maybe up there in Moncton? Wow.Wow.Wow. This is drop dead gorgeous. I love your work all the time, but I think that this maybe my utmost fav by far. This is stunning from the colour selection, to the wonderfully coloured chickadee. The stamped immage which I am thinking is HA is perfect and the sentiment is beautiful. Wow. I love how the colour of your shading is darker towards the edge and corners but dissapates has it reaches the center. You are a master artist my dear and whoever has you on their design team is most fortunate. Hugs.

Bonnie said...

This chickadee looks so real, I can almost hear him singing! What a perfect matchup with the bird and the sentiment!
