I absolutely LOVE the new Tim Holtz stamp set Bird Crazy. I have had so much fun trying to figure out fun ways to use these crazy birds on my cards. They are kind of 'sad' looking so I'm still trying to come up with ideas!! Here are a few that I have made so far.
This one was lots of fun! I stamped the image on watercolor paper with Versafine ink then used my distress inks to color it. I freehand cut the little graduation cap, added a ribbon and a few sequins. The background paper is from an old book. The sentiments are from two different sets..
I also stamped this one on watercolor paper, colored it with my distress inks then fussy-cut the bird out. I punched flowers from coordinating colors, attached them with mounting squares and added a liquid pearl center to most of them. The stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and embossed with white detail powder. I also added glossy accents to the eyes.
Another card using a distressed page from a book as my background. I stamped the bird on watercolor paper, colored with distress inks and again I fussy-cut it out. I stamped the second smaller bird directly onto the background paper. The sentiments are from a Stephanie Bernard set.
For my last card, I used a watercolor technique for the background and stamped the dots with coordinating distress ink. Again I colored the bird with distress inks and fussy-cut. The sentiment is made with my label-maker. I added a few sequin stars for special effect!! Love how this card turned out.
I can't wait to try out some more fun ideas with these Crazy Birds!! Thank you Tim Holtz for a great stamp set!
