This is my sample for Carla's "The Eyes Have It!" WTUI challenge, which you can find HERE.
I stamped my bird on an old dictionary page and coloured him with gelatos.
I also used gelatos on the layer behind, afterwards it occurred to me that red and green might have been a more appropriate colour choice, like those tests you have to do at the optician/optometrist. But I'd already done the whole thing, including washi tape borders, twice and wasn't about to go a third time.
The sentiment is from Hero Arts, I added Glossy Accents and a little thread tucked under the bird's wing. His glasses are cut from a tomato puree tube and are also filled with Glossy Accents.
SU die-cut for the word bubble and my own writing because I didn't have time to mess around getting the computer to print something the right size.
Oh, the background was first of all gelatos rubbed on the IO Gradation stamp, misted and stamped on card. When it was dry I stamped the script over it.

I love that you took the dictionary page and tucked it behind your super fun TH bird. I am cracking up that we used the same image. I have had my birds for months and had yet to ink them up and knew they had the fun glasses accessories so I just had to pull them out and play with them finally. Super fun card Sabrina. The TH birds always are so much fun on cards.

I LOVE the gold rimmed glasses you made for your crazy bird and noticed the glazed lenses immediately - The script makes me think of the illegible prescriptions written by most doctors - makes me wonder how any of them are ever correctly filled.
