So, when I first got my Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush pens I thought I would have a go at coloring those awesome crazy birds. When I first saw Tim Holtz Crazy Birds, I knew they would be pretty much perfect for anything watercolor. Thanks for stopping by & checking out my project – your comments & feedback are always welcome & appreciated! I loved how this card turned out, and the best part is it would be easy to mass produce if you needed a lot of thank you cards too. For the stitching detail around the card I used a dark brown marker rather than black – it tied everything together nicely and kept it a CAS card as I was intending. I inked up my die cut Lawn Fawn stitched leaves with distress inks to give them a bit of dimension and really help the stitching pop as well. This card uses the audrey blue card stock for my base color to punch it up a bit and add some color to off set all the brown.

This card however, I made on my own for my osteo path who has helped me tremendously! I am forever grateful to her and wanted to send her a thank you note to let her know. I ordered the kit and had a blast re-creating the projects that the design team had created from the inspiration sheet that is included with the kit.

I needed EVERYTHING in that kit!! From the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid fall 6×6 paper, to the gorgeous audrey blue & burnt orange card stock, I needed it ALL!!

Simon Says Stamp monthly card kits are always fun, but as an avid crafter I find I already have a lot of the supplies in the kit, so I usually just order the kit items a la carte.
