Our Teaparty challenge this week is hosted by Polly, who is challenging us to choose a card from our gallery and make it "new" again. I chose this card, and changed out one of the Crazy Birds, used a different branch (which is no longer hanging out in midair, lol!), and the PP. Added a small heart to the bird who is hanging on. Our recipient recently underwent open heart surgery, so I am hoping this will give him a chuckle.
I colored the birds with colored pencils and used Gamsol and blending stumps to move the color around. They are so much fun to color! Then I fussy-cut them out, being very careful around their skinny little legs! TFL!

Oh, such fun to see the the crazy birds out in force. Nice branch they're perching on. I hear you on the legs being hard to cut! Sometimes I resort to stamping the birds on the base too and just cutting the legs off.

This is so much fun, Liz that Jay will definitely be sporting a smile when he sees it. I LOVE that you added the heart to the upside down bird. So clever and appropriate. And, I too like that big brach. Big KUDOS on your fussy cutting especially around those legs. Impressive! Awesome card for this Tea Party.
