Oh goodness, the new Memory Box Sparkly Bird Bonanza stamps are a must have! So many fun ones to color and dress up! Today I decided to play with the Chickadee {F1257} and my Copics.
To start, I wanted to use the Memory Box scalloped paper but of course I didn't want to waste any of it. So, I cut off just the edges since that was the only part I would be using on this card. I then adhered them to a piece of Biscotti robins egg paper. I still have two other scalloped scraps left as well as part of the center portion.
Then I began coloring my precious chickadee. I started with the leaves and the branch. I used Copics YG17, YG23, and E59. I am still not great at using my Copics by I am just enjoying the process as I play. :)
I then moved on to the body of my bird using Copics BG11, BG34, BG45, E21, and E33.
I finished coloring the flowers in three different shades of yellow, added the sentiment, a bow, and some Memory Box pearls to complete. I also sponged a bit of Adirondack latte to the edges of my stamped image. Here is how it all turned out:
Papers: Memory Box robins egg biscotti, Memory Box robins egg notecard (33037), Paper Trey Inc., Memory Box scalloped truffle
Copics: BG11, BG34, BG45, E21, E33, E37, E59, Y21, Y26, Y35, YG17, YG23
Stamps: Memory Box Co. Chickadee F1257, Memory Box Co. Oh Happy Day B1216
Stamp Ink: VersaFine vintage sepia, Adirondack latte
Embellishments: Memory Box pearl stickers 24 karat, misc. ribbon, Stickles cinnamon
I hope you will have fun coloring some of the new Sparkly Bird Bonanza stamps! Share them here as you complete them, and enjoy your Saturday!
Very pretty. Thanks for letting us know how you paint your stamped image.
