It's been way too long since I've linked up with Unity's Friends With Flair, and I really wanted to make a card this week using some of my newer Unity stamps. When I first saw the "Live What You Love" set, I instantly loved the little birdie, and I used her on today's card:
I started by shading the background with Distress Inks. Then I stamped the birdie, and colored her and the heart with my old Faber-Castell colored pencils (they're from the 1960s, and I swear they are more vivid than my newer ones...they're probably toxic). Here's a close-up:
I finished the card off with some washi tape from Chickydoddle and fussy cutting another heart from the stamp.
Have a great weekend!

This is a great card. Love the Washi tape. I really need to get myself some
this is fab! Love the washi tape and I think I need that stamp.
Fantastic card!
Hi Jocelyn! LOVE this card - the bird looks amazing and love the gorgeous papers you used. Great card!!
Those Fabers...probably aren't toxic...well, except maybe some of the reds...oh, and maybe some of the blues....hmmmm....and maybe some of the yellows. And definitely the black.
I take it back! Maybe they are(LOL)
BUT...really...they probably contain less wax. So you probably have more pigment, less wax.
But anyway, Dig the birdie too. And the snow you have is probably comin' my way...we're supposed to get some but it sure is pretty outsdie right now...just cold.
Such a pretty card! I love how you used the Washi tape :)
Cute card. Love the tape.
This is just too awesome! I really love it!

I must have washi tape and I'm sorry with too much information here but I snorted when I read about your colored pencils--hehe toxic...hehe still laughing!
Thanks for make me smile very pretty!
I also laughed out loud about the toxic pencils, and then I wondered whose attic to rummage through to find some! I love the paper you used- goes so perfectly with the stamps!
I love that little birdie on your card, and the whole design of your car! Have fun sledding!

Loving that little birdie and the pencils may be toxic but they work a treat! Just don't breathe when you're near the card...
Very nice card.

I still haven't gotten enough snow for sledding and I'm in Canada, eh!
I adore this card. Brave mix of elements and it looks perfect.
Also.... great cards of yours in 365 Cards magazine! I especially like Sunshine Girl.

You are too funny! Just don't lick them and maybe you should wear a mask when working with them...ha!
This is fantastic! Love the tape!
Great card design! Got about 4-6" over here in SW MN, too. I confess...I turned my Christmas lights on tonight since they are still up on the house anyway! They look so pretty in the snow!!
This is fantastic! I love that stamp and your coloring on the white background with the tape.
So cute, Jocelyn! Love this style!
Wow girl! This is absolutely fabulous!
This is sooooo beautiful!!! Love the ENTIRE design!!! I am still giggling at the toxic comment....lol! Oh what us crafters will sacrifice for vivid colors ;) Hugs to you!
Jocelyn I love that sweet little birdie and the torn paper and your beautiful subtle shading of the background. Just gorgeous.
Love the artsy look of this awesome card! So pretty!
Well, as long as you aren't eating them or snorting the shavings you should be OK? I think? lol
Love the birdie, and the washi tape is genius. So glad to see you popping up again :)
Holy gorgeousness, Jocelyn! I'm loving everything about this card from the stamp to the papers and the washi tape. 60s Faber-Castells toxic? And I'm totally laughing at Jessi's comment above. LOL!
This. Is. Awesome. Totally. Wow, Jocelyn, everything about this is so fine! Love, love, love. (Obviously, I cannot find the words to properly express!)
Fabulous Jocelyn! I can see why you adore the bird, what a wonderful image! The pencils should be fine as long as you don't chew them... lol!
Gorgeous card! Love the bird stamp, and how you colored it. Your old pencils are working magic!
