Art Impressions Birds & Flowers

This morning I heard birds singing!  I ran to my window, and there they were; three bluejays, singing in our tree...I think they wanted the suet basket refilled!  I thought they may have been a sign that spring is near.   But, alas, this afternoon, another blast of wintery snow!  Uggggh.  I retreated to my studio and pulled out my Art Impressions stamps to create a more pleasing scene for my back yard, and hopefully coax the jays back.

I used several of the Art Impressions watercolor stamps and Tombow markers to create my card.  I have been watching Bonnie Krebs' videos, and practicing my technique.  I have a long way to go, but am having so much fun with these amazing stamps!

 

The verse is also from Art Impressions.  There are several verses on the Sentiments Set WC-4903.

I also stamped an inside, however, my card base is not watercolor paper, so they colors didn't blend as nicely as they do on watercolor paper. 

Have you tried these stamps?  I would love to hear from you to see what you think.  Or if you have any tips that work for you with them.

I am adding my card to these challenges:
