Crazy Bird Birthday
Tomorrow is my grandniece's 15th birthday. Of course, she's going to be 15 going on 42! I thought I'd make a quirky card to lighten things up. And this card couldn't be any more of that.
That crazy bird was colored with colored pencils, as well as the hat. The hat was covered with Glossy Accents for a little dimension, as well as a bubble at the top. After stamping the bird, a stencil design was applied using Memento inks. I stenciled after so I could see where the bird was to avoid applying the stencil design in that space. It was quicker than stamping and cutting out a mask.
The background panel was embossed. A framing die was used to mat around the stamped image. The sentiment was stamped, inked around the edges, die cut and adhered with foam mounting tape.

It was a fun card to make. Those Crazy Birds are really one of my favorite fun stamps, and I cannot wait to purchase the Crazy Cats stamp set. I know you can order these from Art 'n Soul.

I am headed to Anaheim, California tomorrow. I don't know what kind of posts I'll be able to do from there. Hopefully I'll have some pics from the show that I'm working with Lisa Yang at the Local King Rubber Stamps booth. Thanks for stopping by . . . I'll see you from Anaheim!
