For my card, I pulled out this fun Crazy Bird image from Tim Holtz and colored it in teal. I dressed him up with a bowler hat, a patterned tie, and a pair of glasses to give him a quirky personality.
I layered the bird on a playful paper pack my son picked out for me at Christmas, added a white panel for contrast, and then placed everything on a piece of designer paper from my stash that I am working to use up this year. The finished panel is mounted on a white card base.
Both the bird and the birthday sentiment are popped up on dimensionals for extra lift. This one is headed to my son for his birthday, and the little twists in the design feel just right for him.
Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.
Love the way you 'dressed' him up, he looks far more interesting doesn't he, and the DP your son bought you is gorgeous. I love this card Lisa. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your colourful, crazy birthday bird in his business attire! he really pops against the contrasting background panel, a fun and fabulous card your son is sure to appreciate.

The Crazy Birds always raise a smile, this one pops nicely against the darker background. They are one of the stamps sets I always intended buying but somehow never did.
