ColourQ #133


ColourQ Challenge #133




 Ugg this card took forever, I made it last night and the balance was just off.  I kept redoing it then kept going back to this origainal. So I stamped a new sentiment at the top (should have put it there in the first place) and Shhh, covered up the one at the bottom, with the bow.  I do like my birds… Little Bitty Birds and Fancy Flourish both from Papertrey Ink. As you can see I  inked the bird without the tail and added the Fancy Flourish for tail.  Now they are Fancy birds!  Suzanne: thecardyard card reminded me about outline shading . I learned in person from Judith : of Stamps by Judith , but I forgot and added it last min so it did not flow like it should . I will remember next time.
Thanks for stoping by and I hove you have a wonderful day.
Please keep Janelle, a blog friend  in your prayers today!

  3. What a fun card. Love those little bitty birds with the fancy tails. That is such a great idea for the tails. I think that you are too hard on yourself with your cards. This one is like a dream.

  6. Those birdies are super cute, Marybeth! I never would have guessed that you used the bow to cover up a boo-boo, but it looks like it was made for that spot. Thanks for joining us at the ColourQ!

  12. I love it ~ what a great idea to use the flourishes as tails! Just one of the great things about card making is how you can save a card simply by adding an embellishment or another layer. I am sure people would laugh if they checked underneath my card layers (and even on the back of the card stock) to see how many mistakes I covered up!
