Bearing Gifts

Hello.  Welcome.  It seems yesterday was Earth Day, but more importantly it was my birthday!  Yeah.  Happy Birthday to me.  I had planned to relax and do some crafting but best laid plans and all that.  I blame it on the cake!!  Hee hee.   I made a huge trifle and there's loads left so if you are passing do drop in LOL.  

Then today became Happy Mail Day!!  Yeah.  I had a card from my CCC friend Emily in Ohio.  Thanks Emily, it's lovely.  I had some gorgeous stamps from Bibi at Rubber Dance Stamps.  Thanks so much Bibi for an awesome giveaway.  And I got Small Birds I had ordered from STAMPlorations.  They are so sweet and cute.  What a fun day. 

So feeling inspired I would like to share a black and white bonanza with you.  Black and white cos that's the challenge over at Speedy Fox and Friends.  The bonanza begins with a card made using the sketch and Small Birds stamp from STAMPlorations.

I cut a white panel with SSS stitch rectangle die and stamped STAMPlorations kingfisher from the small birds set.  I masked the bird and stencilled some of the flowers from STAMPlorations Happy Flowers with black archival.  I drew the circle with a pen and stamped the sentiment from STAMPlorations Celebrate Artsy set.  I mounted the panel on a black base card.
