These adorable birdies are so fun to create with. For this card I wanted the “whole gang” together.
I started by drawing lightly with my pencil a snowdrift and then I stamped each of my cute birdie friends out on some masking paper. Then I stamped each bird on the card where I wanted them and put the mask over them. I also masked the bottom of the card. I used Tim Holtz Salty Ocean to ink blend in the horizon/ice line. Then I removed the masks and got coloring!
After I finished my coloring, I cut my panel using a scalloped die frame and matted it on a Michael’s red shimmer card stock panel. I decided I wanted to play with more elements from the kit, so I drew a “wire” line from the “Seasons Tweetings” sentiment and stamped the ornament and star included in the set hanging down from the wire. After those were colored, I added in some sequins for a “snow effect” and finally I used my white gel pen to clean up a few places, add highlights and some texture to the Santa hats on the birds. Finally, I added glossy accents to the birds eyeglasses (I mean how adorable is he!) and to the Christmas ornaments and stars, just to make them pop a little more.
Here’s another look at the finished card:
