CCC Fun Pigeon

  Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
 

I had this stamp sitting on my desk for over a week, deciding what to do with him. I looked online for some ideas and found a saying, which meant I went straight to the stamp knowing what to do, the longest time was making the envelope and framed saying.

I stamped him on a piece of card I had in my scraps box, then decided on a different for me, generic background. Next, I stamped the "dots" and used DI's in masculine autumnal colours to blend over them. He was coloured in the same colours apart from his crop. I used 3D glaze for his beak and eyes and white pen for the cere, I didn't know the name of it, so I looked it up! I then stamped some birds to keep him company. He was attached to red card and onto the base card, that I had stamped with the sentiment. 

Seeing as he is a homing pigeon, I added the envelope and message he brought home. The envelope and saying was done with Silhouette, printed then cut and scored. I then placed the saying inside the envelope and attached it to the card. His eyes were then 3D glazed.
