Celebrate

I've had these Tim Holtz crazy birds for awhile and I'm not overly keen on them, prefer the cats/dogs so I challenged myself to use them at least once.  This card is for the boys Grandad who likes the wildlife to visit his garden and they're weird enough to appeal to his sense of humour :)

I've coloured them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them out, I already had the brick background lying around so made use of it as a backdrop.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted and cut using the matching dies.  I've added a party hat from a Newtons Nook stamp set and popped googly eyes on two of the birds.

    Fun card Claire, I have the larger birds and find that they are a bit big, these smaller ones look fantastic though, love the bright colours and the wall is a great textured backdrop. I'm sure Grandad will love this, Cathy x

    I love your tone-on-tone brick background! I haven't seen a card background like it. The birds are adorable and oh so fun and the googly eyes add to the theme. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday!
