A Crazy Bird for George

IT's Geroge's birthday today and I made him a card with my new Crazy Bird stamps from Tim Holtz. I was lucky to be able to buy this set 2nd hand as they seem to be out of stock everywhere at present.

I had lots of fun with my first attempt. I stamped him onto watercolour paper cut him out and coloured him with Distress markers and a water brush. I stamped him again onto the patterned paper and stuck the cut out version over the top. I drew the hat with a fine sharpie marker, then coloured in the same way as the bird.

The card blank is 6" x 6", the patterned papers are from a 6" x 6" paper pad by Teresa Collins - Vintage Finds.

I made masks for the hills and the sun from scrap paper and used Distress Ink in Mustard Seed and Rusty Hinge.

I look forward to making more bird cards with these crazy guys!

Happy Birthday George

Thanks for looking.
