Welcome to day 5 of Spotlight Week - this is the last of five new sets in this release. Ready?
Here is today's spotlighted set - The Bee's Knees Smallbirds designed by Shirley B. You may recall some of her cards a while back, made with her homemade kingfisher stamp? Well that gorgeous sketched bird made it to a stamp set. See him in the lower right corner? Yay!
Here is what I did with those two little birdies next to him.
"Aus zwei mach drei!" The cool thing about those birdies is that you can use the reverse of the one facing right to stamp the solid color of the birdie facing right. Get it? That's what I did for the red bird! Then I used the reverse of him to stamp the solids of the other two and so on. Gotta love the rich saturation of Adirondack ink colors, eh?
The bits of grass? Those are kingfisher's tail feathers!
I was inspired by my sentiment, which is from Noteworthy, so I chose loud colors. And loud patterns of washi. Check out what the other gals did, including our special guest star this week, the one and only Darnell K. It's been such a pleasure having her. (Maybe Shirley will include a Hitler hummingbird in one of her next sets!?!
Hop around and leave comments (open until April 27th), there are great prizes up for grabs as always!

Wow I would never have guessed the origin of the grass! :)

Love your layout and strong colors and that grass looks so cool.
What a colorful treat you gave us today! Thank you for the week of projects!
So cool. Love your colors and the touches of Washi
Fabulous! I never realised that they'd both end up with a reverse shadow when I was designing them - bonus! Love the loud colours and loud washi.
And maybe I will...

So bright and pretty! Love the clever composition. Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful cards this Hop!~kim
Brilliant, Maria! Your trio of colourful feather friends makes me smile! I'm terrified of real birds (truly, the ravens here are the size of hippos, and they're smart. Very smart. And scary), but you've convinced me I need this set. On my wish list!
