This week's featured stamper is paseely. I smiled, chuckled, laughed, oohed and awwwwed all the way through her Gallery which is filled with fun images, fun fold cards and creative projects. Naturally, since I'm on a "bird binge", I selected this sweet card to CASE: For the Birds by paseely at Splitcoaststampers
I had the bg panel in my stash from a previous card and thought it would make a nice canopy for these birds to rest in. Originally I had them stamped on a white panel that was cut diagonally, but it covered too much of the bg for me. So I fussy cut the birds and added diagonal strips instead. When I started this, I was going to use another panel stamped in lighter greens, but in the end I thought this one looked better. I would have colored the birds lighter, however, if I realized the bg would be so dark. I still like it, I just think it would have been a bit better if there was more contrast and less blending.
Congratulations paseely on being selected this week's Featured Stamper. I so enjoyed browsing your Gallery and I love your fun images and designs. Hope you enjoy your week and all the cards you have inspired And I hope everyone is having a fun, inky day too. TFL

Debbie, what a great case of paseely's card. I love that your background is such a perfect match of the die cut foliage. YOur coloring on the birds is wonderful.
Your background really caught my eye and I love the blue birds. Such a great idea to use strips of paper for the diagonal instead of blocking off so much of your beautiful background with a white layer!
