<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just thought I would pop by and share with you </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a new card I created with my new </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.onecrazystamper.com/">"Bird Crazy" </a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">stamps and dies.....which I might add are </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I created a side step card and used 3 of the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">birds and some fun accessories with </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the images with black ink and used</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">clear embossing powder instead of black </span><span style="font-size: large;">embossing </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">powder. I find the black over </span><span style="font-size: large;">powers </span><span style="font-size: large;">a </span><span style="font-size: large;">lot of the fine </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">detail </span><span style="font-size: large;">where the clear does not! </span><span style="font-size: large;">I used my chicken </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">wire embossing folder </span><span style="font-size: large;">for the background and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I painted the images </span><span style="font-size: large;">with Zig Color Clean </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">markers </span><span style="font-size: large;">and used the matching </span><span style="font-size: large;">dies to cut </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">them out. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I really had fun painting these little </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">guys </span><span style="font-size: large;">and deciding on the accessories</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> to add to the birds and the card!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love lots of sparkle at the best of times</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First I embossed the image with gold embossing </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">powder. I painted their faces and hands lightly </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">dresses, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">cloud </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and book with </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Heavenly H2o's. </i><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a touch of pink on </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">their </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">cheeks. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I added </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> small amounts of color to </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the stars, holly, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">hair and socks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The gold on the bells and socks are <i>gold </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>stickles </i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and <i>frosted lace stickles</i> on the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">cloud and wings. I waited for the stickles </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to dry and if needed I added more!! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A little </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">dab</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">green here </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">there, some </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">micro dots. Once all the images were attached I cut out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">around the acetate leaving about 1/2 inch all around. I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">made the waves with a EK Success punch and glued </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">to the steps leaving the top of the wave open to slide</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the finished images in behind the waves. I used a grass</span></div>
