 Hello!  Welcome to the Picket Fence Studios February Release Day! 

Since today is also Valentine's Day, I thought I would start off with the lovely, Nothing Short of Amazing Stamp.  This is such a fabulous set with meaningful sentiments.  After stamping the beautiful girl, I ink blended around her with Life-Changing Blender Brushes. Next, I splattered her with Peony Pink Paper Glaze and Ocean Poppy Paper Glaze.

Next, we have two products I am super excited about.  The Sparks Cover Plate Die and the Fancy Congratulations stamp and Coordinating Die.  I just adore how the coordinating die hugs the stamped sentiment.  The Coordinating Die adds a little extra something to every card!  Lastly, I sprinkled some Ocean Breeze Sequins.  I think this is headed to a very special College Graduate who loves green.  :)

Next, up I used the new Slimline English Brick Stencil.  I had the idea of a bird on a brick wall so I googled it and found a gorgeous photo of a brick wall missing bricks.  The missing bricks were in a pretty open window design showing a view of a deep blue sky so I did my best to repeat the idea using the square from the Slimline Die Cutting System.  Instead of a deep blue sky, I created a cloudy sky with the Cloud Coverage Stencil and Life-Changing Blender Brushes. The sweet little bird is from the Song Birds Stamp set.  I cut him out with the Coordinating Die then perched him on the window ledge.  Next, I added a sentiment from Ways to Express Yourself.  This sentiment set has 26 ways to express yourself!  

With this card, I am also celebrating this week's Featured Stamper, Linda (hotwheels).

I just couldn't help but squeeze in one more!  I adore the new Thank You die! The fancy script takes any design up a notch!  I added a bird with the Coordinating Bird Song die and Maple Leaves Die.  The background is the Slimline Basket Petals Stencil and Distress Oxide inks blended with Life-Changing Blender Brushes.
