What's the word, bird?

Our flight does not leave till 11.50pm tonight, and I'm all packed,

 

Yes, that's all I'm taking for 3 weeks!  I've been really frugal on what I've packed... and it's been a raining afternoon, so what better thing to do than to do some colouring....

 First up, a scrapling with PP and a card piece sitting on my desk.  The Tim Holtz bird was coloured with Mermaid Lagoon and Abandon Coral distress inks and fussy cut.  The sentiment comes from a Hero Arts set.  I stamped it, and then cut the sentiment up to fit on my mini card.  Inside it says "Happy Birthday, you old bird!"

 

Next up some Copic colouring, cut out with a Spellbinders oval. Sentiment from Rubbadubbadoo.  PP is from Kaisercraft.  Used a sketch I saw on Pinterest. 

and finally

The bird is coloured with Copics and fussy cut.  The sentiment is from a Dana Wakely set.  Once I stamped it, I used my Scor Pal to emboss lines down the card (hard to see in the photo) to give a bit of texture.  Finished with some green washi to ground my bird and a couple of punched notes.  

Off to change now... hard to dress in warm weather clothes (first stop Singapore) when it's wet and cooler here.

thanks for stopping by.
