It's Tickle a Teapotter Tuesday and Pat/pvilbaum challenged us to use birds in our cards! The description of where Pat lives sounds like heaven to me - out in the country by a lake with lots of birds...I agree with her when she observed that just watching birds is a very relaxing past time. Whenever I wash the dishes and look out of our kitchen window, just the sight of birds fighting to take turns on the bird bath is enough to lift my spirits!
I hope that whoever gets this card will smile at the sight of these fluffy mischievous-looking (and gossipy?) birds, a digital art by Carolyn Shores Wright. It was printed, fussy cut and popped on craft foam to give it dimension. The background was made with a DIY cloud stencil.
Thank you Pat for a fun challenge, and thank you Sabrina for doing the behind-the-scenes for a smooth card exchange!

They do look quite gossipy....LOL. My hubby and I enjoy watching birds too. We often make up stories about what they are doing or talking about, especially during mating season when the males try to siddle up to a female and she rebuffs him. Your card is every bit as fun with that wonderful and colorful cloudy sky you created. Love how you colored your sweet birds too. Great card that is sure to make the recipient smile large.

That sky is heavenly...the colors are yummy! And those birds definitely make me smile! They do look like they're checking out everything that's happening in the neighborhood (I know a few people like that....). What a gorgeous card for our exchange!

That sky is magnificent and I would try balancing on that wire with your fluffy birds just for the opportunity to take in that rainbow confection in the bg.

Your digi birds on a wire are fabulous with your clouded sky background. The colors are amazing. I wonder if they people watch the way we bird watch! LOL
