Something Incredible


I made this graduation card for the daughter of a dear fried of mine. I love this sentiment stamp from Reverse Confetti especially for an occasion where one is starting a new chapter in life. Crazy Bird is dressed in the University of Scranton school colors of purple and gold. This young woman is going on to Grad School in September, and this is just perfect for her. 

I am linking my card to the following challenges:

I used a combination of Stamping, Die-cuts and watercoloring.


Tim Holtz Bird Crazy Dies and Bird Crazy Accessories, Reverse Confetti Star Banner Die.

Thanks for stopping in today!

I love those crazy birds Stephanie - they make me laugh. Your colouring is gorgeous. I tried emailing you regarding the die you asked about but the email bounced back. The bird die is by Fancy That Dies Australia but they don't seem to be around any more. There's a couple of similar ones here:
