Marcella does it Again! Flourishes New Release Day Two

I {{{heart}}} Marcella Hawley. If you don't already know...Marcy is one of the illustrators of Flourishes stamps and I love her work, today's release is no exception!

This SWEET set is called Home Tweet Home and oh my word, you'll love it! And I have two great cards to show you! Very spring...since it seems determined to snow here forever...

Look at these sweet birdhouses! I stamped the birdhouses first in Basic Gray ink and then masked them and added the branches with Certainly Celery ink on watercolor paper. Watercolored the houses and then I gave the border a wash of color in teal and a deeper outline in a teal marker. Do you see they each have BLING??? They are fashionably *chic* bird houses :) it's SO 2009! (lol). Did you also notice there's a bird outline stamped on the background?

What's the Word?

This gorgeous bird sigh...isn't it beautifully illustrated? And I Love the colors in this Urban Prairie Basic Grey paper from Flourishes, warm yellows, pinks, corals, almost a Baja Breeze blue. So I gave this sweet bird some deep Baja blue and Aprico yellow watercolor and trimmed him out carefully.

The main panel with the branches is stamped first, then I trimmed around the edge of one of the branches (like out of the box technique), and then snuck it under my Nestabilities template and cut it out. I gave the sky a pretty was of color like it was sunrise or sunset and gave some of the leaves a yellow sheen too. It's even more richly colored IRL. I really love some of the sayings in this set, like this one: *What's the Word?*...like he's ready to break out into song! Very cute.

Wanna win this set...or the other two in the new release??? I mean seriously why would you say no? Then head on over to the Flourishes Blog to find out how you can!
