I'm on a buying freeze till the exchange rate improves, but I had some birthday $$ I was able to use to buy the birds - and the trees and lanterns were part of my birthday gift from DH.
I stamped and masked the bird, then stamped the trees. Stamped the lanterns and drew in a wire for them to hang from. Trees, bird, lanterns and foreground grass coloured with Polychromos pencils. Then I used watercolour for the sky, and added some dots of Stickles. I wound some fine wire round the two top corners and added lots of little ivy leaves - plain paper coloured using wrinkle-free distress before die-cutting. I added veins with a marker and shaped them a little. Sentiment from HA embossed with clear EP. The base was sponged with Vintage Photo, then stamped with the woodgrain stamp in Gathered Twigs. Base and main panel edged with a black pen, image panel popped up on foam.
I already had a birthday card earmarked for DH, but I think he'll be getting this one instead.

This certainly looks like a very "lively" party - LOL - those crazy birds make me laugh every time and your card is no exception - must be the blank look on their faces!!! I think your DH is going to love this one!! The night sky and the lanterns hanging between the trees for the party are perfect!!

LOVE this card! I bought the bird set when they first came out but haven't had the opportunity to use them much. Soon. Great combo of stamps, coloring, design. LOVE it!
