I was so excited when Loll asked me to be a guest designer for the 12 tag event! What fun I had doing these! Thank you Loll!
Is everyone tired of these guys yet? Plain white cardstock was sprayed with Marion Smith Color Lab. These are powders that were mixed into sprays and leave a tiny hint of sparkle, not visible in the photo. I had no blue to work with so mixed up some Dharma Trading Procion dyes for natural fibers and made blue to spray on top of it. This resulted in the ugliest background I ever did. I friend talked me out of trashing it. I fed the tag through my printer and added some branches with Photoshop brushes. Stamped the birds and colored with copics and pencils, fussy cut and positioned on the branches. I did shrink one to be the "little kid" bird. The sentiment was computer generated. I then sponged the edges to give the illusion of light shining through and finished with glossy accents on the eyes. Join us for some fun at Loll's 12 tag challenge. You can find the information here

So Amazing Nancy! I love your background, paint brushed branches for your adorable and beautifully colored birds. These birds always make me smile, but I laughed out loud when I read your sentiment. TFS my friend.

This is SO cool! what a computer wizard you are - resizing birds, photo shopping branches - your background sky is gorgeous! A great tag for Loll's 12 days of tags!

You are clearly a computer wizard as well as an excellent artist, Nancy! That is NOT an ugly background once you got finished adding the computer branches (beautiful) and the karazy birds! I'm glad you said you shrunk the little bird cuz I thought my perspective had gone off-kilter!! Hugs, Darnell

I don't know how you do it with all the computer manipulating of images, etc but you make the most amazing works of art! The tiny branches added to your "ugly" (NOT) bg just takes my breath away and your tag positivley glows...you are awesome Miss Nancy..looking forward to seeing more of your holiday tags.
