Quirky birds - Princess of Hearts Collection - Life is Sweeter - with Julia McNeil Designs

Hello everyone Happy Friday everyone !  I hope you are enjoying the Summer - its a little bit hot here so having to spend quite a bit of time indoors keeping out of the heat but hopefully a few more weeks and the heat will start to ease off.

Today I have a fun and quirky little card that I have made using the quirky bird from the Princess of Hearts Mini digital collection.  Its supposed to be a flamingo but I do like to make something different!

A few years ago we bought a quirky bird from a friends mum.  She had made it from varnished gourds and false flowers among other recycled bits and pieces and we love it. 


It's hanging in our lounge amongst the plants...we're not sure what type of bird it is but when I saw the digital image in this fun collection I knew I had to make a fun and quirky card using it. 

Certain to bring a smile to anyone's face I think LOL

I resized 2 of the images and reversed one of them before printing out along with one of the hearts and a sentiment from the collection.

The two quirky birds were coloured with my Polychromos pencils.

The  background was stencilled with distress inks and I added shading with a couple of pencils and highlights with a white gelly roll pen.

A simple die cut frame for the birds and some coloured card strips at the bottom for my fun card for today.

Finishing touches were white gelly roll pen highlights and glossy accents to the eyes . 


I do hope that you like my card for today and I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment. 



Hasta luego ๐Ÿ‘‹ 


Enjoy the rest of your day !
