This is a card I made as the result of my 'find':
- 4" x 6" white card blank, tent style
- black card from the snippets folder as the first layer, then topped that with a trimmed down piece of DP from MME's 'Sunshine' paper pad - using Collall All Purpose glue
- stamped the sentiments using a Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink pad and the NBUS Tim Holtz 'Simple Sayings' set, snipped them apart and ran a black Whispers marker round the edges. I like this set a lot, tons of useful everyday sentiments in a typewriter font that you can mix and match
- to add the hat to the bird I just snipped from the bottom of the hat up to the front edge of the brim and then trimmed away enough from the back and the brim so that the hat would sit nicely over the Crazy Bird's head. Poor thing, I had to snip his little crest from the top of his head :)
- fiddled around working out where things should go before then gluing them in place using Collall glue
- then added Glossy Accents to the bird's eyes
Job done! The still to be used birdies are staying within my line of sight now :)

ReplyDeleteBrilliant card, Di. I'm glad I'm not the only one who colours images, packs them away and forgets about them for ages! xx
ReplyDeleteAbout time to use those birds - I still love them and never ever get tired of seeing them!
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious that half of the people online talking about having the blank atm card are not real as i have tried getting this with all seriousness from several companies and i have paid my money to them without me getting the card and it was so frustrating until i came in contact with davidbenjaminltd@outlook.com who just in 2 days after i applied with them and submitted my details i card was delivered to me and its effectiveness was just as i read about it. I am using this medium to spread the good news and direct those who are serious about getting this card to the right company. Seek no further but contact davidbenjaminltd@outlook.com
