There is an Australian swap that I like to enter every month when possible and this is the second of the cards that I sent to my partner for the September swap which had the theme of Animals. A quick check with Oz confirmed that yes birds would be classed as animals. I'm trying to go through all the digi stamps I have on file and use them all at least once. This is one I bought from 'Patties Creations'
called Two_Can_ Love back in Mar 2013. Where does the time go!!
Base card is made from navy blue card stock and a panel of red card sandwiched into the spine. I downloaded the image onto white card and used my distressed markers to colour along with a brush dipped in water to move the colour around a bit. I added small googly eyes to the birds. There is a sheet of acetate in front of the white card. Rather than adhere with brads I still punched the four corner holes but threaded twine through instead and finished with a bow at the top. Sentiment is a gold sticker from my stash.

Aud Sentiments #168 Anything goes + add a sentiment.
Southern Girls #147 Anything goes.
A Bit More Time To Craft #32 Anything goes.
