Bird brain

Hi Everyone, I saw this fat bird and had to use it, as it made me smile. It was originally for QKR. I'm so sad they are not available any more. 

Sorting some paper files the other day, I came across this feather digital paper that I thought would be suitable to use with the fun bird. I also decided he needed to sit on something, so I took him, the branch and the sentiments into Silhouette. After printing and cutting him 4 times and the sentiments and the branch just twice each, I cut around the sides and bottom of the feet, to base the bird on the branch. 

I coloured the branch and the bird quite simply, although you can't see the shading on the bird much, then glued them together, the background paper was printed and cut to fit and was layered onto yellow card. 

The bird was attached to the branch and both added to the background layer, then the sentiments, with an inked border, were added to each corner. All attached to the feather and yellow card and then onto the base card.

    Clever and well done card, that is perfect paper.
    I too had a QKR image mashup planned and printed, may just go ahead and use it as it looks like those days are gone.
    Hope you are cooler than we are!

  11. Love this card, the chubby dove and the feathered backing paper but most of all I love the sentiment. As I get older I find more and more that I am late sending birthday cards. It's not that I forget exactly, I am aware of the approaching date but just do not get around to putting a card in the post in time!

    Very impressed with all the layers.
