You're How Old?

Sadly, I didn't make it to the pumpkin patch with my chidren and grandchildren today. It was frigid outside and I'm still not over this respiratory illness, so I stayed home. I don't remember the last time all of us were together at the same time. So it was Crazy Birds to the rescue!


I am in love with Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamps and all the accesories that go with them. I watercolored this guy with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and a waterbrush. After being cut out, I added Glossy Accents to his eyes. The panel is another piece of the watercolor paper leftover from my playday with Ken Oliver Color Bursts Brights. The watercolor panel was added to a purple card base and some strips of CS were added on the left side. I die cut a speech bubble and added a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Crazy Talk set. Those sentiments are hysterical and go so well with the birds. The bird and speech bubble were adhered with foam.

I followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #208 by Cindy H. and will be entering this into that challenge. Also, I would like to enter it in Just Us Girls Color Week # 315 where this week's colors are black, purple and orange.  I will also add this to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Wonderful Watercolor.



I hope everyone has a lovely week. Enjoy!

  8. Hope you're feeling much better! Staying warm, even though that meant missing the outing, was a wise decision. I don't enjoy cold weather (and we're definitely experiencing that here....time to bring out the long johns!). Your Crazy Bird makes me giggle...love his quizzical look!
    Hugs~c
