Happy Bird-Day to You!

A few challenges were featuring birds this week, so I couldn’t pass up the chance to get out one of my favorite stamps. I love this stamp because it is so unique, almost 12″ long and has the funnies, craziest birds on it! It’s made by Carabelle Studio, which I believe is in France.

The challenges I joined in were at the Paper Players (#624) – CAS theme “Happy Bird-Day”, Seize the Birthday (#223) – optional theme of “Things with Wings,” and the colors from Color My Heart Color Dare (#532) – shades of blue and purple + one color (green).

I started with a musical note stamp from CASual Friday Stamps, now out of business. I then stamped a portion of the long bird stamp on it. I did some coloring, and finally stamped on the sentiments. I die cut the panel with a simple stitched rectangle die. Since my photography skills are little to none I wasn’t able to capture the birds’ eyes in the full photo, which I covered with glossy accents to give them some shine and dimension. The close up below gives a little better idea:
