Hello!
I am in love with this new stamp set from Graciellie Design, "Live for Today", featuring this adorable Tufted Titmouse! I have dozens of these beauties in my backyard every day and they love chit-chatting with me as I fill up the feeders! The great thing about Gracie's illustration is that it can also be colored as a Cardinal, Blue Jay or even a Cedar Waxwing! Here's a look at the entire set...aren't the sentiments great?
This CAS design came together quickly and only took about 30 minutes to watercolor. I trimmed an A2 card base with a strip of pattern paper and spattered watercolors onto a smaller panel of white card stock. This panel was spritzed with shimmer mist and set aside to dry while I fussy cut the image.
I glued two of the matte silver snowflake die cuts together and printed/die cut the sentiment strip. The spattered panel was glued to the card base and the rest of the pieces were adhered on top. I was really happy with the way this design turned out and I think I will make about a dozen more of these for this year's Christmas card stash!
Thanks so much for joining me today and for taking the time to comment!
