"Five little birdies, flying around our door. The blue one flew away and then there were four.
Four little birdies sitting in a tree. The yellow one flew away and then there were three.
Three little birdies didn't know what to do. So the red one flew away and there there were two.
Two little birdies sitting in the sun. The brown one flew away and then there was one.
The little green birdie felt so all alone. She flew away and then there was none.
Later on that very day, five little birdies came back to play."

It's release day at The Craft's Meow! We are celebrating with a blog hop. You should have arrived from Julie Ranae's blog.
My card features the woodgrain bird and sentiment from Lark Additions. I stamped the bird multiple times in different colors and shades of ink, however I used the backside of the stamp for a solid impression. Lark Additions compliments Happy as a Lark, and is the free gift at The Craft's Meow with a $50 purchase this month.
Today's Tip: Affix your stamp on your acrylic block with the design facing inward, and ink up the back for a completely different look.
The entire January Release from The Craft's Meow is up for grabs to one lucky person that leaves a comments on the design team member's blogs today! Your next stop is Lin!
LOVE THIS! Great idea using the backside ... very nice - thanks for the inspiration!
