Good morning and welcome to the blog.
It's my wonderful son-in-law Jonny's birthday tomorrow and this is the card I made for him.
I love, love, love these birds from the Tim Holtz 'Bird Crazy' set and I've ordered the accessory stamps as well, mind you I did order them two months ago! Still patiently waiting but getting a tad irritated now. Never mind, these little guys filled the bill for my card today.
I made a card base 5 x 7" and inked the front of the card with distress inks in salty ocean, peeled paint, scattered straw, dried marigold and a hint of tattered rose.
I stamped the corners with two Hero Arts stamps - Envelope pattern and Grid pattern in Versafine Olympia green.
The branch die is from Marianne designs
The sentiment is cut from a Heartfelt Creation's stamp - 'All Seasons Sentiments' HCPC3544 that is full of all sorts of useful words that you can cut out to form loads of different greetings. Just genius!
I've coloured my birds with an assortment of inks (that is short hand for saying I can't remember exactly) and the eyes are made using Tonic's Crystal drops in Pearl white and ebony.
As Jonny has a really quirky sense of humour I'm sure these wee guys will have the desired effect and raise a smile.
Thank you for joining me today.
Have a good one!

Hi Edna,
I can't believe that I've only just found your blog...bad me!!! I've added you to the list of blogs I subscribe to so I've got no excuse now lol. I love the card, they are just too cute aren't they. I have to say that I wish Tim would supply dies for a lot more of his stamps. I've got the lovely flower one on order (from the US as it's so much cheaper and free p&p) but I'm not looking forward to cutting them out lol. I need to practice with my craft knife, watch out everyone.
Bejay xx
