Crazy Bird Father's Day card

Hi Everyone,

time to play with the Crazy Birds - I think they just lend themselves to be made into Father's Day cards....



I used watercolor paper and watercolors to color Mr. Crazy. Gave him a snazzy little bow-tie made with a YNS die, colored it, too and added glossy accents. Added the sentiment by Studio112 - I actually cut that sentiment out - I figured I'll never will use the stamp as it is anyhow and that was easier than masking it....

And did I mention the splatters?


Linking up with:

Cut it up  - Ties for Fathers Day
Colour me....! - my orange show up as red in the picture...
Friday Mashup - water color
Snippets Playground - use a snippet (bow tie) - probably the tiniest snippet ever ;)

Inkspirational - Purple ( as suggested by Carol)
Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Fathers Day

Happy Stamping!

If you continue to showcase your Crazy Birds with this much style and panache, you're going to 'convince' me I need them! You're working magic with them! Mr. Bird looks mighty fine in his teal, orange and purple - the latter colour meaning you should bring him over to the Inkspirational gallery! He'd fit right in!

What a cute bird! I love the expression on his face, and his wings look like he has his hands on his hips. The splatters are perfect to fill up a little white space, and his tiny tie is adorable!

Thanks for joining us for our Ties for Father's Day challenge at Cut it Up!

Visiting from seeing your card entered at Cut It Up Ch72 Ties for Father's Day. The Tim Holtz bird looks great. The cut apart sentiment looks wonderful. I've cut many a stamp after getting over the first time I did it. I do not have the TH bird set. I started working on the TH Jun Tag. I have the base ready. Have the die and gathering materials to comoplete.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
