If you read my last post you'll know I had one or two birds left over from false starts when creating a DT project for Challenge #259 at Time Out!
This is yet another bird! But I noticed that Colour Hues Challenge #83 has a cream/blue theme and as this bird was cream and blue, I thought I'd have a go at making him into a card sooner rather than later ... I also needed a birthday card for my wonderful choir director hence the musical theme!
I used the same Spellbinder Cherry Blossom branch to give this little birdie somewhere to roost that I used for my last 2 birds ... what can I say it was already out and it remains one of my favourite branch dies despite being one of the first dies I ever bought!
I wanted to make this card a little special since it's going to someone very special so I mounted the birdie on a wobble spring which in turn gave me the idea for the sentiment! I used the font "Are You Freakin' Serious" to create the sentiment and cut it with a speech bubble die from a Deco Time Set (which I've just realised is NBUS so I'd like to also enter NBUS Challenge #60)!
Here is the wobble spring in action!
I stamped the musical score background (Stempelwinkel) onto a piece of vellum. I cut a frame using the two largest dies in the Pink Fresh Essentials Diagonal Stitched Rectangles set and laid it over the vellum score and trimmed the excess. Then added this to the card base.
Once I'd laid down the branch and my bird I added a smattering of quavers and the card was finished!
I'd also like to enter these fabulous challenges
