I needed a
male birthday card so I turned to my trusty Bird Crazy stamps from Tim Holtz
to make one up.
For inspiration
on my layout I used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. To create the line element I stamped out a
sentiment from the Crazy Talk set. I didn’t
want to leave the background completely white and the ink splatters theme at Creative with Stamps gave me the idea of adding a party popper. My placement of my ink splats wasn’t so great
though as my party popper is at a bit of a funny angle for my crazy bird to
have really popped it!
Because I am
invariably terrible at picking colours the colour scheme for my card comes from
the current challenge at Stampin’ Royalty.
I didn’t have the Stampin’ Up colours so I’ve substituted. Unfortunately mint seems to mean every type
of green known to man but on screen at least Tim’s Cracked Pistachio seemed to be
a pretty good match. You’d have thought
navy blue would have been easier to match but my Chipped Sapphire had a
tendency to turn a bit purple when dry so I added a bit of Dina Wakley Night in
Archival Ink to darken up my blue.
I popped my
somewhat drunkenly placed party popper off the page with a 3D Zot and added in
some baker’s twine for the pull string as my only real embellishment on my
card. Loving a CAS crazy bird for a male
birthday card!
