Doodle Birds by Georgina Sweetenham

Hi it's Georgina with my third and final post as this month's Guest Designer. My final project is a Stepper Card using a lovely selection of Neil Walker stamps.

I started by decorating a stepper card blank. I used a combination of mini Doodle Bubbles and mini Doodle Background stamps from the Mini Backgrounds stamp set. I used light and dark green, and dark blue ink pads. I overlapped the stamped images to form a patchwork effect.

The birds I used on the card are again Neil Walker stamps. I used Money Bird and Mechanical Bird individual stamps. From the Birdz Set I used Mystical Bird and Funky Bird. I stamped the birds with a Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad. I coloured the images with ProMarkers.

To give the birds dimension I stamped each birds three times. I cut out one complete image and then sections from the other two stamped images (as shown below).

I attached all the layers together with foam pads.

Once all the birds were finished I added Glossy Accents to the beaks and black pearls for eyes. I also stamped and layered-up just the flowers and leaves from the Mechanical Bird.

The sentiment is from the Journaling Words #1 stamp set. I stamped the words onto a strip of white card. I added dot-dash border around the strip with a black fineliner. I stamped the image again and cut out just the 'dreams' which I added to the card with foam pads. I added the birds and flowers to the card. To finish I added various colours of Stickles.

I have thoroughly enjoyed joining the Blog this month and sharing my cards with you all. Thank you so much to Jennie and Emma for asking me. And thank you all for the lovely comments you have been leaving on my blog posts. Happy Crafting!
