GC103: Random Redhead Challenge- Bags and Tags
I am such a bird brain and I should be because I have so many bird stamps. I made this for the Gingersnaps Random Redhead Challenge. I took apart a Starbucks bag and covered it with polka dot papers (My Mind's Eye). Before putting it back together I stamped it with birds and cages and feathers and eggs,etc. I made the tag with my TH tag die. I used a Stampin Up punch for the bird and foliage. I used stamps from Stampington, Tim Holtz, Hampton Art, and Stampin Up. The colors look quite different than what is showing.
Thank you for looking!
Hummingbird Update: All is well so far. We haven't been able to get a photo of the two babies yet. They need to have their heads up for that. The first day we had a scare because the mother was never at the nest when we checked. I went to bed thinking of how I could care for 2 baby hummingbirds. When I got up the next day - she was back in the nest. It seems they spend all their time gathering food and away from the nest.
