Thanks for taking a peek at my Bird Crazy card. This is for Brian...a little bird-day humor! The background is Brusho Crystals. Just a tiny twist on that to add interest - before taping my watercolor paper down to a board with painters tape I ran the painters tape through my die cutting machine with a wonky edge die. I left that wonky painters tape edge down until the background was dry and my stenciling was complete. The stenciling was done Imagine Crafts Gold Metallic Medium spread through a TCW Stencil. Another thing I've found simple since procuring the Bird Crazy dies is to die cut black fun foam to prop up the tiny eyes, beaks and wings for these birds. Keeps all those small pieces nicely in place!! I hope all my gallery friends are enjoying the holidays! Happy New Year if I'm not back soon!!

Holy smokes, girl, is this ever outstanding! I love your funky die and, of course, that bird. I think how you used your brushos is incredible. Wow, do I ever love this one. What do you mean if you're not back for awhile? I'll cut you some slack because I know you're going to have your have full when those 2 little pups come home. Have fun. Hope you had a wonderful birthday.

Oh, Lisa, this is just adorable, and I really love how you've colored your crazy bird. These are just so fun and funny, and I love the idea of popping your eyes, beak, and wings. And your background is fabulous with that great stencil. And I agree with Anne - gone for a while? I guess she's right about the new pups. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and that it won't be too long before we see you again. Hugs!
