CASology #4--Bird


The cue card this week at CASology is bird. Use it as a starting point and the idea 
that comes to mind when you hear the word, to create your card.


While perusing the CASology entries, I saw gorgeous birds, elegant birds, 
a clever origami bird. I decided to go cute.


I just love this Paper Smooches chick. She may be my favorite out of all the
PS characters. She can appear confused, surprised, or just plain cute.
I made her apologetic. 

I hope I haven't offended anyone with my PG-13 card. I was going through
my stamps and came across an old Hero Arts stamp set (LL949) of graphic dots.
The "splat" was one of them and a light bulb went off.

I used kraft cardstock as the base and colored the chick with Prismacolor
pencils. The sentiment is also from Paper Smooches.

Have a wonderful weekend! And be careful of any birds hovering over you...

    Donna, I laughed OUT LOUD when I saw your clever card! It reminded me of the several times my DH has been "hit" while we walked on the boardwalk at the beach! Some say it's good luck...he'd like to think so! As my kids like to chant, "Birdie, birdie in the sky...please don't do that in my eye!" Thanks for the chuckle...too cute!
