I don't know what it says about me that I just can't refrain myself from putting hats on my animal stamps. It is some kind of illness. I just don't know what it is called.
To make this card, I stamped the Tweet Bird (E1263) onto some eggshell paper using black Memento ink and then colored it with a selection of Copic markers. I punched out the image with a Marvy mega circle punch and then layered it onto licorice paper cut from a Marvy giga scallop circle punch. The patterned paper is from the Glitterati collection and reminds me a bit of a Kandinsky painting. I cut a small triangle from the same paper to look like a party hat and added a berry pearl to the top.
The Happy bird-day dashed (B1007) is one of my favorite sayings because it is just so practical. Memory Box has so many wonderful bird images, and the saying pairs so well with all of them.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!
