April's Stamp of the Month set: Flock Together

I feel like we are being teased with the occasional warm weather here and there. I am so ready for it to get warm and just stay warm! We had a wonderful family Spring Break vacation; the weather down in Florida was phenomenal when we were there. It felt so wrong to leave such lovely weather. April's Stamp of the Month set, Flock Together, is a cute little set of 11. With an adorable little bird family, delightful sentiments, hearts and more... this set is perfect for celebrating family and friendships.

For this first card, I started out with some Kraft cardstock for the background. Then I stamped a row of the baby birds on the bottom in Chocolate ink. Also in Chocolate, I stamped the sentiment "You are the best" from Finding the Words. Then I stamped another baby bird on White Daisy, colored with markers, trimmed it out and attached it to the top center. I added just a touch of shimmer with the Shimmer brush on the bird's breast. Finishing it off, I added some White Dots to highlight the sentiment.



For this next card, I used a print from the Sugar Rush paper packet. Using colors from that set, I stamped the scallop border in Pomegranate, Canary, Sea Glass, Tangerine, Whisper and Raspberry inks creating a striped pattern of scallops. I stamped the sentiment on Tangerine with Pomegranate ink, then I stamped and colored the birds, trimmed and attached to the bottom -- and topped it all off with a few Sequins.



I went back to the Kraft Cardstock for the background again, using a few prints from the Dreamin' Big paper packet. Then I stamped the hearts and two large birds, then colored and added some shimmer with the Shimmer brush. I stamped the circle sentiment "love this" in multiple colors and attached along with some gold glitter gems. 



For this last card, I used some different prints from the Dreamin' Big paper packet. Then I stamped the large bird and colored him with a variety of colors. I wanted him to be extremely colorful, then I added some shimmer over the entire bird with both brushes: Clear and Gold. I wanted that bird to shine! Then I stamped some hearts and the sentiment "You are Fabulous" from the So Many Smiles set. 



The shimmer looks so good IRL, but it is so hard to take a good picture and be able to see it well. I tried to take a close-up so you could see it better:



This set is too cute! Don't miss out and make sure that you get your order in before April is over.
