My happy.

After the messy desk fiasco that came with making *this* card, I felt the need to scale back a bit...

One set.

It came in the mail earlier this week, and I just wanted to play.  I stamped the line pattern in SU's peach parfait ink, and rested the bird's branch right at the top.  The sentiment was stamped right under the bird's "squawk" lines, since he's doing the talking for me...

I then grabbed my post-it notes, stamped the sentiment again, and cut it out to create a mask.  I also masked the peach pattern under the bird before stamping the frame in aqua mist ink (PTI).  I did a quick coloring of the bird and flowers with copics, and added some glossy accents to the little flower-buds.

I know I do alot of masking, but honestly - it's such an easy technique, and there's a "how'd you do that" factor to it - I'm in it for the glory, don't you know.

The grid pattern is from a studio calico mini paper pack - I wish half the pack were this pattern!  It was hard to cut it up and use it on a card.... oh, those crafty-hoarding-tendencies...

BUT, I did use up a flower gem! yay me!  Isn't pretty?  It's SU, and I love it.

I'm entering this bad boy into the "animal antics" challenge over at the Simon Say Stamp blog.

Here's wishing all of you an amazing weekend!
