Hello, everyone and happy Friday! Lydia here. Today, I'll be sharing an idea to stretch your holiday stamps to create a tropical feel. I'll be using the ever-so-cute Season's Tweetings Stamp & Die Set for today's card.
So, when is a cardinal not a cardinal? When it's a tropical bird of many colors, that's when. I have to say I really love how this turned out. I stamped the birds from Season's Tweetings Stamp Set in a variety of colors, skipping the face part of the stamp to give these a more versatile look.
For the background I used the branch from Season's Tweetings Stamp Set but mixed in some tropical leaves from Forever Ferns Stamp Set. It's a really quick and simple background to do, but I love that it looks as though the flock of birds is perched in the forest canopy.
The sentiment is from Holiday Tag Sentiments Stamp Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this post gave you some great ideas for stretching your holiday supplies to use all year-round!

I loved your card Lydia! What a wonderful spin on the traditional red. So pretty, thanks for sharing 🌴
Lydia, this is such a clever way to wed tropical and holiday…the resulting card is such a colorful treat. tfs-stay well.
LOVE your rainbow of birds, beautiful!
OK, why didn’t I think of using a cardinal stamp to make different color birds? Guess that’s why I need you to keep me straight. This would make a great “thinking of you” card with the pastel colors. Love it!
Wow!! Absolutely fabulous!
