Birds for the “Twofer” Challenge

The challenge at the Twofer Card Challenge has a theme of “birds” this month. You can see from the photos below what the challenge is all about. Who doesn’t need a little motivation to find more ways to use your supplies?!?!

Below is Card #1 – Made with a layering die by Birch Press Designs (“Epiphany” set) which I used three shades of green. I cut a circle with the same size center to make a “stencil” so I could color the center purple. The birds are from a set by Jane’s Doodles, colored with Copic markers and given a little glitter glue for adding some sparkle to the birds. I printed the sentiment for this one on my computer.

And here is Card #2– This was made with the center portion of the same Birch Press designs die set. I cut an additional circle for the middle to stamp the sentiment on. I used the same two birds, but colored them with different colors this time.
