I got a package yesterday with some new stuff from Red Lead so I just had to try it out. The stamps (eggs, birds, greeting) are all from Red Lead and I used their artisan inks to stencil the bg and also color the images. There is a bit of a learning curve on the inks but I'm having fun playing with them. They're so vibrant. TFL!

Before I even read your description, Polly....I felt the "Red Lead" style with images and colors. You could be a sample maker for them!! A delightful spring card.

Oh, Polly, this is so pretty and bright. And I'm laughing at your title...not precisely the title but what it reminds me of..a bit of a story about "the birds that swing"...don't mean to hog your post but the story is on a card I did a long time ago. Here . You don't have to look, but it's kinda funny. Thanks for the laugh!

Polly, this is fabulous. I love all the beautiful bright colors you chose. Doesn't look like you are still learning, looks like you are a pro with these inks :-).

Such pretty colors Polly! Fun to play with new toys too...I had an order waiting for me when I got back from Spring Break but I've been recovering from the trip & haven't played much!
