Happy Bird-day

Good Morning everyone, i hope you're having a good week.

Today im sharing a fun card using those crazy birds and a good old favourite design of mine with the fishtail banners - my regular followers will know how well used these dies have been since i bought them many years ago, so much so that the coating is coming off in places and rust appearing😀.... they are just so useful

5x7" cardblank, bottom corners rounded.  I first stamped the crazy bird and water coloured with oxide inks, i then fussy cut him out.  I inked some white card using the same oxide inks and some mirror card with green alcohol inks, i then cut out lots of fishtail banners from them and mixed papers, i arranged these on my base card - takes a fair bit of shuffling to get an order that i liked. 

I then cut a circle from my green inked mirror card and 2 papers , i added my bird to the centre with glue gel for dimension.

sentiment die cut from scraps of the same papers, all the papers are from the same paper pad and some were little scraps, ideal for the tiny little fishtail banner. 

A close up on my owl, id added glossy accents for his eyes and you can see my green inked mirror card clearer.  The sentiment die is from a sizzix set - tropicool slider set
