Dripped reinkers on mixed media paper and sprayed with water. After it dried, sponged on more color. Once again, trying for a Susie background. Found legs on the internet along with shoes and a soccer ball. Colored the bird and cut him out. Printed the legs and shoes, colored and fussy cut. Stamped the bird on the background and added the fussy cut pieces and added the shoe laces. Then stamped the Jofy stamps and PB branches and painted with Cosmic paint. So surprised that these shiny paints are opaque and do a great job coloring over black embossing! This was so fun to do but found out the little guy this is for no longer plays soccer but is into football instead. Thanks for looking!

FUN!! This made me laugh. LOVE the long, skinny legs on your crazy bird. This is an awesome design and the "former soccer player" is going to LOVE IT! Great job with the sprayed and stenciled background. xx

Love, love the bg! And your bird makes such a cute soccer player! What a shame the little guy doesn't play soccer anymore, but I bet he will love this just the same.

So cute, Nancy! I luv the foot on the soccer ball and the sneakers. Your "susieish" background is stellar - I've trid and failed. Great 'barely there' checks and patterns for added interest.
