It's time once again for the One Layer Wednesday challenge. This week the challenge is hosted by Jennifer at Styles Inc. This week, Jennifer has challenged us to make a one-layer BIRTHDAY card incorporating a bird (or birds). Easy peasy...right? Well, it would be if I had any bird stamps! Okay, I do have two or three, but I couldn't think of a thing to do with the few that I do have....so...I resorted to some digi images.
This first card was created using a sketch image I found online. I printed the image onto my card base and then colored him with Copics. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
This pretty cardinal was another image I found online (I just searched for drawings of birds). There were originally some berries on the limbs, but I edited those out. I re-sized the image to fit the front of the card, then printed it using my Silhouette program. Note: When printing out images with an ink jet printer, let the image dry overnight or heat set it. I tried heat setting the ink on this image before coloring...and I got everything set except the ink on his tail feathers...I see a little smudging when I colored the image with my Copics. Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
That's my take on the challenge this week. I think my favorite one this week is the first card. I don't know how I got him colored so well...but he's really pretty!
Thanks a bunch for popping in! I appreciate all your comments! Until next time...
Hugs!
