Good Morning everyone
Today im sharing a batch of Easter cards I made using these fab bird images again, I made a little shaped card with my oval dies for an egg like effect and dug out some lace and feathers.
Card size approx 4x5" I cut 2 large ovals from kraft card, on one i scored a line half an inch from the top and adhered that bit to the back of the 2nd oval, thus making my card base.
I die cut a piece of white with gold foiled marbling into a fancy oval, added a little stencilling with chalky actylic paints in some teal & yellow and then added to the card front. About a third of the way up i added some feathers - glued in place with pinflair glue gel and then added a strip of lace over the top which helped hold the feathers in place, hides any glue and gives somewhere for the birds to sit.
I then added the birds with glue gel and a stamped sentiment to finish.
Version 2
Version 3
Version 4
Version 5
Version 6 - I actually made 12 varieties, all slightly different colours and birds. These digital birds come looking one way but I reversed them in my graphics program so that I could have them facing both ways. They were printed onto Craft Master digital card from Highlight crafts.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Easter display Emma, all different but equally lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch the birds and wildlife of which we are fortunate to have an abundance and yesterday did it in the garden sunshine. I was more than a little surprised to be told by the bird app on my phone that there were 17 different species around at the same time.
