I love to make practical things and since my memory has gone the wayside, I always keep a notebook in my purse. These JustRite Birdhouse stamps were just the right size to embellish the front of a notebook! Very versatile stamps! I stamped the image in Black Stazon (so the ink won't run when I water color) and water colored the image with marker, by scribbling on an acrylic block and picking up the ink with a water pen. I layered the image on a couple of complimentary Spellbinders Dies. I threaded some ribbon through the holes in the Lacey Oval. I cut my sentiment out the the Spellbinders die that comes in the Tag making set. Sponged everything in Memento Rich Cocoa, except the Green is sponged with Ranger's Pine Needles. This was finished off with some Kaiser Rhinestones. Whenever I create something that needs to be sturdy, I always use Score Tape. I find it is the best to keep my projects together.
