I have so many cards to make...thought I would see what kind of challenges were going on in the gallery to get me started. I came across Anna's Just Beachy! mix challenge which sounded super fun. My card starts with a TH Crazy Bird (I can't get enough of these birds!). I stamped him and water colored him with Koi and Gelatos and then painted in some scenery. For the challenge I added texture to the sun and sand with Ranger Texture Paste, and added Wink of Stella to the sand and water make it glisten (I wish you could see all of this in in the picture...my photography skills have something to be desired). The hat and beach ball are from an IO clear set I have called Darla & Daylen - the beach ball is covered in Glossy Accents to make it 3D. The sentiment is stamped in VersaFine black and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I don't paint ever - and have zero skills - so this was indeed a CHALLENGE. Fun card to make! Thanks for taking a peek!!

I love these birds too. This is a wonderful little scene!!! The hat is a such a super touch. The sentiment is a perfect laid back statement to go with your sweet bird. Love the expression on his little beaked face.

For a stamper to receive 3 'favorites' on her crazy bird card doesn't fit with someone who has no WC skills. this is wonderful. I'm into humorous but I never thought of getting an image like this. I may have to rethink my position. Your bg is delightful, just like the card.

Every time I see a card with this stamp set, it makes me smile :-) Your card is absolutely wonderful - perfect scene - and the masculine "take" is fabulous!
