I enjoy using both real looking bird images and whimsical birds on my cards. My favorite whimsical images are Tim Holtz Crazy Birds. Here is a birthday card using the TH mini set. I also used the TH accessory stamps and dies to add dimension and character.
First I added some distress ink splatter to the kraft cardstock base. I also punched a border and added it to the edge. I stamped the bird image on watercolor paper and colored it with Distress Inks. I stamped and colored a 2nd imaged to cut the eyes, beak and wing from. I stamped, colored and cut the hat and balloon as well. I popped up the eyes, beak, wing, hat and balloon, added twine to the balloon, and added the matted stamped and embossed sentiment. I stamped "Happy Birthday" inside. These little guys have so much character!
