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
