BIRDIE WITH A BALLOON.

 Hello!

I never met a bird image I didn’t love and this little guy is a treat - just happy to be invited to the party 🎉 



Playing along with The Paper Players challenge.





Bird was fussy cut and colored with alcohol markers. (The key here is to throw the towel in on delicate cutting and just stamp the bird image on the card base for the legs and tassel, and then fussy cut a duplicate colored-in body stamped on scrap cardstock to mount over it.) Bird and balloon elevated with foam tape. Actual twine tied to balloon and affixed inside box. 


SUPPLIES

box die - Spellbinders Surprise Box

bird and balloon stamps - Hero Arts Wonderful Birthday clear set

 dotted embossing folder - Tim Holtz


Thanks for stopping in today!
