Wauuu ,deine Ideen sind der Hammer😍

[@MichelleZindorf1]

thanks

[@kathybalch]

I love how you add the little extras on most of your cards. Those two little strips of paper add so much! Gorgeous card! I noticed Stamping up has added the grayer back into their catalogue. I’m hoping to see you break yours out and brayer cards like no one else can! You have an amazing eye for making scenes and as soon as I saw that bird stamp I knew you would be using him! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[@MichelleZindorf1]

This harder brayer is good for putting color on your stamps and embossing folders. Blending brushes work best for blending color on your card stock.

[@rosemarieschmidt2423]

Absolutely gorgeous card! No surprise here! You make elegance out of simplicity! You never disappoint… always an inspiration and so very talented. I love bird cards! ❤️

[@MichelleZindorf1]

Thank you so much!

[@GayleRobinson-bu2vt]

You make simple so elegant. The background is perfect. "It's easy to color when you don't have to stay inside the lines"......EXCEPT if one has O.C.D. (rofl)!!! My dearest Michelle: there's no way I could color that bird so quickly!!! ANY mistake (in my minds eye) and I would have to start over!!! It's hard to believe I love making cards when I overthink everything!!! The DSP set a stage for the card as a whole but those two plain strips of "Early Expresso" completed the effect! I love the small bird. Beautiful.

[@MichelleZindorf1]

Glad you like it. :)

[@terryhassey1984]

Wow!!

[@MichelleZindorf1]

[@bettyling869]

I love this card. I have been looking at that stamp set, but hadn't ordered it yet. I definitely will now.

[@MichelleZindorf1]

You won't regret it. It's a lovely stamp set

[@susandillion9614]

I have this set and I appreciate the great ideas

[@MichelleZindorf1]

thanks for watching.

[@kayfunden5545]

Mine looks like an exray Not sure what I’m doing wrong . I thought the ink would glide accross the paper . It didn’t kept sticking 😢😅

[@MichelleZindorf1]

Hi Kay, it sounds like you don't have your ink pad at an angle. The flatter your ink pad is to the paper the more it will stick. Try that. :)

[@kayfunden5545]

Ok I’ll try that ! I’ve been practicing!
