Twofer Birds

Hey all - I'm skating in with a quick pair for this month's Twofer Challenge. I caught an obnoxious cold and my head feels like it's going to explode. Didn't prevent me from pulling out my crazy birds set - LOL. Just had to stop often to blot the tears streaming from my eyes...

Like I said, I pulled out the crazy birds thinking I'd make a crowd for a thinking of you card and a pair of birds for a Valentine card. First stamped and masked two of the birds, then stamped three more behind. Then I stamped two more birds and die cut with the matching dies. Colored up with Copics, arranged on cards - DONE! Could've done more detailing but I'm in a hurry these days. I'm so excited to have been able to squeeze in a twofer this month!!

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar, White; DCWV A2 cards;

Michael's Vintage Valentine 6x6 pad

Stamps - Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection Bird Crazy;

Paper Smooches All Year Cheer; Hero Arts retired for musical notes and sentiment

Looking forward to visiting your blogs more often when life is a little less hectic. I appreciate your visit - many thanks and happy crafting!!
