Birthday Bird Card

I just love this digital stamp set by From the Heart Stamps called "Party Hat Birdbrain." Both the image and the sentiment I used on this card come from that set, and there are 6 additional birthday sentiments in the set. It's a great deal at $3.25.
To begin my card, I used a sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 inch card stock and folded it in half for my card base. Then I used my Silhouette Design Studio software to resize my image and sentiment and send them to my printer. I didn't do a print and cut this time because I wanted to cut them out with Spellbinders dies. After printing the image and sentiment, I colored the image with Sharpies. I regret making the bird's eyebrows brown because they make it look like the string from the hats comes up around his eyes! I'll know better for next time, I guess! I used four different Spellbinders dies to cut them out and make mats for them. I used Decorative Labels 22 for the image and Labels 22 for the mat behind the image. I also embossed the Labels 22 mat with a 5x7 Cuttlebug embossing folder with a chicken wire design. For the sentiment, I used Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles Large with Long Classic Scalloped Rectangles Large for the mat. I added 3 red sequins to the image for a little sparkle and because sequins were a requirement of some of the challenges I'm entering this card in.
I used glue tape, micro glue dots and foam squares to adhere everything.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

  6. Love the bright colors and that cute image. So glad you joined us at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with an awesome inspiration from the Scripture in Hebrews 3:6 and it says, "But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast." Have an awesome week.
