It’s been a while since my bird friends paid a visit … I’ve missed them … so today they were invited round to play …
Therese‘s fabulous inspiration card at Muse this week was perfect for this bunch … fun, bright, happy, colourful (check it out further down) … and they’re also going to be popping in to see what’s going on at Simon Says Stamp Monday’s Anything Goes challenge.
Each bird was stamped on white cardstock, coloured with Promarkers and trimmed out … mostly easy peasy. The pink and green kiwi, however, insisted on being closely cropped along the back (apparently it’s his best side) so it took a little extra care to make sure he looked just right (he’s rather proud of plumage). The gravel path is courtesy of an Annabelle Stamps border image and these guys wandered onto it to check it out … I helped out a little with the staging via some different depth foam dots. You’ll notice there’s no sentiment … that’s because they’re a chatty lot and couldn’t choose just one thing to say … I’ve left it to them to decide something suitable before tomorrow, when they’ll be winging their way to a friend who’s recently celebrated a landmark moment. I’m hoping that after a good night’s sleep they’ll agree on a few perfect words.
Thanks so much for your suggestions on alternatives for die cutting if my Cricut doesn’t respond to treatment. The news isn’t too good … the easy fixes have been tried and it’s still not working, so it may be the circuit board that needs a solder repair or bypass. Oh good, some more new skills to learn!
That’s it from me for the weekend … I do hope you’ve had a fabulous one. Thanks so much for coming by, your visits and comments are always a joy! Anita 🙂
