Birds

Hello Everyone ~ Are you thinking this will be like Alfred Hitchcock’s movie the “Birds”?

I worked on a few cards and my scrapbook pages yesterday.  I have cards for the next week and my scrapbook pages for my class are almost completed.  I need to finish them today so I can post the announcement.

It is the challenge at Make My Monday.   This time our challenge is

BIRDS

When I saw this challenge, I thought about the Sheltering Tree and the Tree Builder punch.  With all the nice weather we have been having, I thought a Spring Tree with some Robin’s would be a good idea to try. 

I stamped my tree using Soft Suede ink.  The leaves were added with Pear Pizzazz.  This panel was mounted onto a piece of Pear Pizzazz card stock.  Taking a Whisper White card base, I embossed it using the Falling Petals embossing folder.  The tree panel was then added to the card base using dimensionals.  Now to make my birds.

I began by taking a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock and scribbling some white colored pencil on it.  On top of the white I added some red colored pencil.  I was hoping to get the red breast of the Robin.  It was too red so I took an orange colored pencil and colored on top of that.  That combination gave me the rusty color I could use for the breast.  The Tree Builder Punch was used to punch out my birds by strategically placing the rust strip I had colored in the breast area of the punch.  After the body was punched their wings were also punched.  The Wings were added to the birds using a glue dot.  The birds were added to the tree with a glue dot.  My card was finished.  Here is my Spring card with some Robins!
