Annie’s Ink-Lings
I don't know why I ignored these little guys for so long. Then all of a sudden, it seemed, I fell in love with Tim Holtz' Crazy Birds. Whenever I look at their little faces, I just have to smile. The images are so versatile that you can stick one of these little birds almost anywhere. The card I'm sharing today is a "from scratch" flip card featuring one of these little fellas. I have a flip card die, but when I came across directions for making one from scratch, I just had to give it a try. Rather than attempting to repeat the directions here, I'm referring you to the directions on this blog. Thank you, Allison Cope, for making the easy-to-follow directions available.
Here are the supplies I used:
Tim Holtz Alterations Bird Talk clear stamps #561218
Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 8 #S5-019
I used the second from the smallest die to cut the design paper on which to layer the bird.
I used the third from smallest die to form the flip card.
Distress Inks to color the bird: Spiced Marmalade, Shabby Shutters, Pine Needles
Ranger Enamel Accents, Black: for the eyes
Echo Park Paper Co. Designer Dies: Festive Fall #EPPDIE32 for the leaves. I die cut two sets of
leaves, layering one set on top of the other. This gives the leaves a bit more dimension.
Hot Off the Press clear stamps: Just a Little Greeting #HOTP1121 Happy Birthday
Measurements:
Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
Striped designer paper panel: 2" x 5 1/4"
Checkered designer paper panel: 4" x 5 1/4"
White panel: 1 3/4" x 5 1/4"
Since I didn't have a word bubble small enough to fit the card, I stamped the sentiment, then drew the bubble with a black pen, and cut it out.
Now it's your turn to do some fun card making.
Blessings,
Annie
