We've had a mini heat wave these past few days, we're so not used to it! Doesn't help that we've no air conditioning in work - we've usually no need of it LOL. I can't believe it's still 23 degrees at 9 o'clock at night! Not to worry though, normal service is due to return tomorrow with the rain ;)I've been on a lucky streak and won a Simon Says Stamp voucher recently and I've blown some of it on the new Tim Holtz dogs, I can't wait for them to come! So I thought I should get some ink on this under-used crazy birdie!
I've also used some of my precious blue enamel accents - it's been in the 'too nice and too expensive to use' pile, but I've also ordered some of the new coloured Ranger enamel accents, so felt I could finally use these up!!!
All coloured with watercolours, and then the same colours splattered on the BG. I went over the edge on his/her (?) eyes with my colouring, so drew in some eyelids and lashes :) Bird popped up on dimensionals and clear gloss added to his eyes and beak.

ReplyDeleteLynne, I always enjoy seeing your cards in challenges, and this one is a beauty!! I love these Tim Holtz stamps - have a few birds stamped from a friend and received the crazy cats set for my birthday this year. Haven't purchased the dogs yet, but I think they are just as fun as the others!! I love your background - water-colored and then splattered with ink. You've done a great job!!

Your watercolouring looks fantastic and I love the crazy bird image. Fun birthday card! So glad you shared your creation at Tuesday Throwdown.
ReplyDeleteI don't have these crazy bird stamps, but I do love them! Your card is fabulous, and those enamel accents look great. We've been having a heat wave here, too. I can hardly stand to be outside! Hard to stay inside when we're camping in our little RV!!! Stay cool. We'll both have colder weather soon enough. he he
