I'm late, I'm late! These little birds had to fly all the way from Australia to St. Lucia via Dublin, and now they're about to set off for PA. And before that they had to pay a visit to the hairdresser for a major dye job.
Thank goodness for a WT challenge which combined almost perfectly with my idea for this, as it's the first chance I've had to make a card all week.
As per the WT I used one sheet of (white) card. Cut it in half and used half for the base and half for printing on.
Base was stamped with Pocket Silhouettes, Inspired by Nature, an unknown fern and a vine from Autumn Leaves. The ferns were embossed before I used Pocket Silhouettes. Then I lightly chalked the background.
Birds from Angels Landing and letters for sentiment were printed on the other half of the card. Coloured the birds with re-inkers, added Glossy Accents to the beaks and popped up on foam. Cut a curved strip of card to match the vine more or less, sponged with green, stamped with leaves and placed the letters on.
In keeping with the tropical theme I've made a coconut and Malibu cake to bring along .

Cute card and love the Kookabura birds! Takes me back to the days I was a Brownie and we always sang the song about them hiding in the gum trees when we were at Day Camps! TFS!

Awwwww these birds are so cute! Great coloring and I love the banner they are holding. Cake? Cake? Did someone say there was cake? Nothing better then tea and cake especially for a birthday celebration. Glad you made it to the party!
