Welcome!

My name, Karin, was pretty common when I was growing up...just not the spelling. Unless you are of German heritage like I am. So, I have spent my entire life answering the question, "What is your name"?... With, "Karin...with an "i"! Who knew it would come in handy all these years later when I went to name my blog.

Chickadee

Hi Everyone!

My card today uses one of the single stamps that are available at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.  After writing my thank you notes for my Christmas gifts, I'm pretty low on plain note cards, so that's what inspired my post today.

This stamp is called Chickadee and I colored it with my Copic markers. I then layered it on a sheet of patterned paper that I thought sort of matched the flowers around the birdie.
The pattern was only black and white, so my Copics were used to color in those flowers to match the image.  Pretty simple, but I can add any sentiment inside or out and it will be custom to my occasion ;)

Well, I wrote this post awhile ago, so I'm already popping in with an updated photo of my card.  I realized I needed a birthday card, so here is the final version, with a sentiment and a few pearl embellishments.
