Birds

Hi everyone!

As you know this month we are featuring

BIRDS 

for our Customer Challenge theme.

And it just so happens that the Take A Word

challenge is the same thing:  Birds!

So I may as well link up to that when Take a Word goes live.

As always,

I made you some samples

to help get your creative juices flowing:

Papers from the

Magnolia Blossoms and Tribal Fire Paper Paks

The main image is from the

Garden Botanica Paper Pak.

See, you can use papers as the main images as well!

And these are beautiful!

Once again, the main image is from the

Garden Botanica Paper Pak.

You know you can get any of these lovely

papers, images and icons at the 

Gecko Galz Etsy Shop, right?

There are some beautiful new images over there,

be sure to check it out!

For each  sample, I place a cropped strip of paper 

over top of the background paper, and

added brushes and perhaps an overlay border.

Then I put the main image over that.

The Wordart is the last thing that gets layered on top.

If you don't do digital art,

you can do the same thing by printing out

the images you want, cutting them and 

layering them on a card base.

The only thing you ca't do is using a brush, but

just substitute a ribbon or use a stamp.

It will be perfect!
