Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! Has spring sprung where you live? We're getting there..slowly but surely. We have a few days w/ temps in the upper 60's then colder, then 60's again. I can feel Spring trying, but Winter still wants to hang on by her fingernails. I have a silly card today. It's been brewing in my head for awhile then a couple of challenges on Splitcoast helped it fully form.
The colorful bg is acrylic block stamping. I took the melon colored rainbow ink pad & swiped across an acrylic block, misted it w/ water then stamped it onto white c/s. I thought it needed a little contrast, so I added a narrow black frame, then used my Misti to stamp the solid branch a few times. The greeting is a put together mix of 2 greetings. I already knew I had to use the Butt is Big part, I just had to hunt around until I found the "stripes" part, then do a little creative masking for "do these" part.
For the silly bird image, I drew the stripes then colored & fussy cut. Since this bird looks pretty rotund to me, I thought the greeting fit. I also contend his/her butt makes him/her look big..not the stripes, lol.Here's the inside & below it are the Copics I used for the silly bird.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Is this ever cute and clever! I love what you've done with the bird, and the compiled greeting is amazing! Gorgeous background too :)
Too funny Julie! Love how you changed both our silly bird and the sayings! Awesome background - especially with the contrast to the black of the frame and the trees. Sadly, those stripes really do make him look a little hefty :)
This is so cute Julie! I love his striped outfit, ummm, where is the ball and chain, heehee!! Love the sentiment for your Silly Bird as well and your bg is beautiful! Oh, he could be a bird dressed as a bee to get honey from the tree there, right...like Pooh bear.
This is a darling card!
I so wish I would have thought of this - it is brilliant and soooooo fun! Love, love, love it! Hugz
What a fun and clever card, Julie! I like your jailhouse birdie!! Too fun!
