Recipe tag week 14

After a bit of a false start, here is my offering for week 14.

I thought I would try out my new Cottage Cutz die, and here we are! The bird and birdhouse are stamped with Sizzix background stamps using Impress inks, and the alphabet stamps are from Craftycat.

The stripes are everywhere - in the background, the leaves and even the bird's wing.

The whole thing is glued with gel medium, and I remembered why you should use a solvent ink if you intend to slop water-based glue all over your stamped creations...
