Birdie Cards

I have been getting into these new Birdie Card makes recently and decided to use some of my free papers from one of my Papercraft Essentials magazine which seems to have been a very good choice as this birdie card has come out really well. I aimed to create a vintage birdie and that is what I have achieved! I also used some flower ribbon that I bought when I was out on a craft shopping spree with Maggie and max. For the tail I used a ribbon rose which helps finish my birdie off. Oh! And a lovely big pearl bead for the eye! x x x

Birdie Cards

Last night I got myself sat down after Ava went down to bed at 9:30pm, in my craft heaven and explored my creativity to my hearts content. I may not have had all the time that I wanted to be creative but 2 hours was good enough and, I managed to get two cards made that I am absolutely delighted with. Above is one of the cards where I have used Amy Butler fabric and Amy Butler scrapbooking paper and created two basic shaped birds drawn by hand then used the template I made to produce these birdies on my card! I chose these patterns because they are very detailed and this meant I didn't have to do too much to the birds themselves. All I did was stitch on flower sequins and white beads with metallic silver thread around the outline of the birds, then I stitched on a lovely shell like circle button and added a colourful pink bead to make the pupil of the eye!
I am really pleased with my result here and, am rearing to go to make more of these with different patterned papers and fabrics.
