LIM Week 50: Some More Bird Cards!

Hello, friends!  As promised, I am back with a second round of cards I made for the current Less Is More challenge to make one layer cards with lots of white space featuring birds. 

Today's first card uses an unknown stamp (it is a woodblock stamp but has no labels anywhere on it).  I embossed it and colored it with watercolor paints.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts. 


 
For a finishing touch I added Glossy Accents to the heart. 



My second card uses the Stampendous "Birdhouse Fence" stamp that I've had since 1997...I still love it!  I embossed it in black and painted it with watercolor paints.  The sentiment is from the same Hero Arts set as above.  Aren't those two birds too cute?


OK, that does it for today.  I had a lot of fun making these clean and simple cards, and I'm always glad to have them on hand.  (Can never have enough cards around!)

Have a great day!
Judy

    WOW1 These are beautiful cards, and your colouring out of this world. I love the cute first card, but must agree the second stamp is gorgeous.

    Hi Judy - lovely cards. That first stamp is a Magenta one. Am I sad that I recognised it immediately?
