Hambo Stamps Dirty Bird

This is my first Hambo Stamps design team card using a Hambo RUBBER Stamp, if you've read my blog for awhile you know I don't use many rubber stamps anymore.  I discovered digital stamps/images and haven't looked back.  

For the first two months of my design team term I'll be using Hambo RUBBER Stamps, how fun!  When I received these in the mail before I opened the package I was hopping I didn't have to cut them out, I was very pleased to see they were nicely trimmed and ready to mount on an acrylic block, yes!  I even felt the need to re-ink my Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad for best results...  talk about neglect!  I stamped a few practice runs on copy paper to get the feel again and stamped the final image on Copic X Press It and went to work coloring.  I feel the need to add that I was really impressed with how beautifully this image stamped, very crisp and clean - I like that!  

As I said before I went to work coloring the cute Dirty Bird image with Copic markers:

My papers are from the Cosmo Cricket De Lovely paper pad.  I also used 5/8" grossgrain ribbon, a translucent yellow button from my stash and a little crochet thread.  

I also used Hambo Stamps "Little Cheaper" sentiment on the inside of my card, nothing fancy because I forgot about using it after I got going on my card!

My card today is also for our Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown challenge, our theme is "Things With Wings".
