| 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!

ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteI love the flourishes with the birds Marybeth. You crack me up, you always tell your little crafting mistake secrets, no one could have seen underneath that bow! Great colors and a really good design.
ReplyDeleteI love those flourish tails!!! You're so clever. The colors look so wonderful against the white. Perfect card!
ReplyDeleteThose 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!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE what you did with these Bitty Birds Marybeth. They are AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteOh my!! You are a genius! Love your adorable fancy birds, I have been on the fence for the flourishes for a while, but this is definitely a big push in their direction!! Awesome card!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Marybeth, I love how you used Fancy Flourishes for the tails--brilliant.
