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.

I've used this bear and bunny before and decided to use them again with a different sentiment, I made up. It had to be funny, I hope!

I added the images to Silhouette, printing and cutting 4 layers of the bear and rabbit. I coloured them with DI's, using a marker to make the check on the bears' jacket. The scales inked with gold. Before adding the images to the card. I shaded a border around a mask of the image, onto the main card. I removed the mask image, then added the coloured images. Again, very simple, but I don't think it needed much else.

I thought I would use these lovely images for my card today, and use a floral background I haven't done in a while, well! it's getting to Spring?

 

I added all dp and images to Silhouette, I printed them and cut 3 of the cat, turtle, and the sentiment.  I cut 2 pieces of card to match the size of the bottom floral, embossing a "wall" and adding stencil clouds. The images were coloured with water colour pencils, I added wobbly eyes to the cat and 3D glaze to the turtle eyes. All then attached to the card. I think I've made it sound a simple card, but it took longer than I thought, don't they always?
