Wow! Can you believe it, 4 projects form the first cartridge in my collection. I sure hope I don't start with great momentum, only to burn out before I'm even a month in! :) I'll try not too!!
Remember project #1 - that cute little birdie on the perch? I really loved that bird and wanted to make him into a shaped card. So once again I pulled out my Gypsy and got to work!
To create the base of the shaped card, I welded two of the bird shadows together at the top of the head (be sure to flip the top one both up/down and side/side). The bird and all the layers are also cut at 5".
After I made this guy and got him all together, I realized that it needed a liner on the inside of the card, since the base was dark brown. :( I went back to the Gypsy and cut the main bird layer but I hid all the interior cut lines . . . leaving me with the liner you see below . . .
At this point I didn't really like the birds eye's - they were kinda empty, just dark holes. :(
So I switched to white for my base (which mean no more liners!) and made my own eyes 9and eyelashes for the girls) with a black marker.
Much better don't ya' think??
Here's the whole flock together. :)
Aren't they just the cutest things you've seen? I figure I can always stamp or write something like "Just Chicken in", "A little birdie told me...", "Happy Bird-day". . . they are good for several occasions!
Be sure to "CHICK" back in to see what my next cartridge will be . . .
