A few challenges were featuring birds this week, so I couldn’t pass up the chance to get out one of my favorite stamps. I love this stamp because it is so unique, almost 12″ long and has the funnies, craziest birds on it! It’s made by Carabelle Studio, which I believe is in France.
The challenges I joined in were at the Paper Players (#624) – CAS theme “Happy Bird-Day”, Seize the Birthday (#223) – optional theme of “Things with Wings,” and the colors from Color My Heart Color Dare (#532) – shades of blue and purple + one color (green).
I started with a musical note stamp from CASual Friday Stamps, now out of business. I then stamped a portion of the long bird stamp on it. I did some coloring, and finally stamped on the sentiments. I die cut the panel with a simple stitched rectangle die. Since my photography skills are little to none I wasn’t able to capture the birds’ eyes in the full photo, which I covered with glossy accents to give them some shine and dimension. The close up below gives a little better idea:
This is such a fun card! Those birds are a hoot (pun intended lol), I love how you’ve placed them on the musical notes, such a clever design. Thankyou for playing along at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x

I am just loving that stamp!! Your coloring of it is perfection and those glassy eyes are and awesome finishing touch!!! I be back to see your PET creation!!
What a fun stamp, Melanie! Love the glossy effect on the eyes and colors too! The musical stamp was a perfect addition. Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday and using our topping. Take care!
Melanie your comical bird stamp is just fabulous and I love how you combined with the music notes to tie in with your sentiment perfectly. Great glossy eye detail too! Thanks for playing along with our clean and simple challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
