Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
These rainbow birds were cut from a piece of watercolor that Jack did. He painted wide
strips of shimmery color that worked perfectly for the Poppystamps Challenge to use
rainbow colors.
I've embossed three strips with three different embossing folders then die cut
the bottom with this scallop die. Then I added some stick die cuts for the birds
to perch on.
Since there wasn't any violet paint, I stamped the sentiment with Gorgeous Grape.
