Winterberry Bird

I just love this new stamp and paper from Memory Box that I just got from my most fabulous LSS (Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Marietta, GA).

This was made for a challenge to use a tag from the Verve Forum on SCS.

I used Pearlescent watercolors (these things are AMAZING and cheap!) on the bird, nest and berries. It has a nice shimmer in person, hard to capture in the photo.


The 'red' Basic Grey Sugared piece is cb'd w/ d'vine swirls.
