Bird Crazy...


Couldn't resist - I had to jump on the bandwagon with the Tim Holtz "Bird Crazy" sets!  OMG but they make me laugh out loud!
Aud Sentiments is in the 2nd week of an Anything Goes Challenge and I took advantage of the theme to use these images.
There is a delicious prize this go around from our Sponsor - Great Impressions.  They are offering FIVE stamps of the winners choosing at their store!  Wowza!  Go check out the store via the link with their name - you will be overwhelmed at the choices!  You may have up to five entries in the challenge, just be sure to include a sentiment.  The rules, and more important, the inspiring art of the designers can be found at HERE.

PROCESS INVENTORY

IMAGES: 
  • All the images are from Tim Holtz -  birds are from the "Bird Crazy"collection, accessories from "Crazy Things" and the 'POOF' sentiment from "Crazy Thoughts".  The 2nd half of the sentiment I hand lettered.
  • The Happy Birthday on the front is from Recollections.
  • For the focal image I used Paper Tole Technique to 3D the birds & accessories. The images were colored them with Copics, fussy cut, 'paper sculpted' and then the layers were both glued & elevated with foam tape to achieve dimension.
  • The inside uses papers left over from the front:
PAPER:  
  • Neenah "Classic Crest Solar White" 80# Cover Wt. used for the image.
  • Die Cut used to shape curved piece of CS.
  • DP used for the background from Basic Grey's "Life of the Party" Collection.
EMBELLISHMENTS: 
  • Hole punches in 3 sizes were used in the upper right DP - allowing the red base card to show thru.
INKS:
  • Images were printed on an Epson WF-3520 printer 
  • Hand colored with Copics:
