Quirky Birds

Quirky Birds

Hallo Everyone!

Another beautiful day on

planet Earth - it certainly

is a beautiful day in my

parallel universe......!

Today's project is just

tailor made for those of

us who have difficulty in

knowing what day of the

week we're in........!

Here is Craftyfield to show

us the way.....

"When I saw this bird, standing on one foot 

and looking sorry for himself, I knew 

this Joggles image would be my "Oops" stamp. 

You know "Oops" I forgot your birthday, 

"Oops" I heard you broke your leg... 

I thought a CAS design would be ideal and

 quick to make in a batch.

 I will finish the inside when I know 

what "Oops" I'm dealing with!

I stamped my bird with Distress Oxide, 

partly because I was trying the new inks and 

partly because this happened to be the most appropriate 

yellow for a no-line colouring.

[no-line colouring: when the stamped lines 

are invisible or near invisible after colouring]

I coloured Quirky no3 with watersoluble pencils, 

masked his legs with masking fluid and 

splattered yellows, brown and blue also with the pencils

I stencilled chicken wire behind the bird.

I used an old alphabet stamp set to 

create my sentiment.

I added finishing touches by die-cutting 

with a Stitched frame die.

Now I am all set for my next gaffe!"

Supplies: 

Joggles Quirky Bird No3: 
Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber:
Inktense pencils: 
Chicken wire stencil:
Memento black ink:
Alphabet stamp: my old set is not available 

but Card-io makes a great one here

Thank you Craftyfield

I think this is the perfect

"belated/sorry" card I have seen 

in a long while

i think it is so apt I am

going to make a few

After all, I am bound to

have a good many

Oops! moments

'Till tomorrow
