On to my card for today's hop, which is full of colour.
I went with the flow doing this card, and was inspired by the cute Mod birds. This card had to be as fun as this stamp set, so I have layered, did some stencil mono-printing and included the inside of my card, and I have done a video, which you will find below.
 I started out by doing the stencil mono-print on white card stock using Distress Oxide Inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers, then set it aside to dry.
 I then stamped the birds, leaves and some flowers as I was not sure what I would need, and painted with Zig Clean Color Brushes, then fussy cut everything out. The dies are on my wish list, I highly recommend them. The sentiment is computer generated as is the sentiment on the inside. 
To put it all together, I layered card stock on angels, die cut the stencilled piece with my Elegant Stitching die, and matted this piece with the green card stock. I inked around the edges of the sentiment with Twisted Citron Distress Ink and arranged the birds on foam squares, and glued on the leaves. 
For the inside I did another stencil, but used only the Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide, and I used some of my left over images on the inside. 

My video of this card.

    1. I use that stencil a lot. I have a full size one, and the one I used on this card, which is the large one cut up to use this way. One can never have too many stencils!
