I haven't had much success with Bisters until I purchased some clay paper by WorldWin. They just floated on the surface and eventually created this mottled background. I accidently dropped the piece on a paper towel while still wet and it created some texture. Stamped the crazy bird on white paper, colored and cut him out. Fashioned a sign from wood and used SU Cheerful Critters to stamp the sentiment. I slit his wing after fussy cutting to slip the sign in. The clay paper did not stamp very well with distress inks so the branches are a bit blurry. The idea for this card was inspired by Susie Australia's card "Oh Hoot" which you can see here. This set by Tim Holtz is so fun to work with.
Thanks for stopping by.

Wow! You got a ton of favorites of the week on this card and its no wonder! I love the background and how you seperated the wing so he can hold the sign!
