A big congrats to Gayle, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful gallery & I was really intrigued by her 12 days of Christmas series & I chose THIS one to case. I liked the repetition of a single image, done in different colors so I kept that. I used different images, dies & colors & made mine a Thank You card. Gayle had 9 ladies & actually, I had a 9th bird, but he just wouldnât fit so Iâm going w/ only 8.
This card was a lot of fun to make. I love rainbows & I love birds so a bunch of rainbow birds is the best of both worlds. They kind of look like a chorus line, donât they? After stamping, coloring & die cutting them, all I had to do was arrange them on the slimline layers. Fitting the greeting was probably the hardest part. When you use up this much real estate, it doesnât leave a lot of space so this was my solution. So I put the 8th bird down on the greeting level to kind of even things out. I even gave them eyes to match their plumage. Are these a color coordinated bunch of birds, or what?
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ Copic colors (a bunch!) & links: The Write Stuff
