Purple birds

 Don't you just love how we as creative people can make our birds any color we would like :) I saw many of these type birds on Pinterest and thought they would be cute for my oldest sister who recently had a granddaughter.

You cut circles, I did two different sizes, don't quite fold in half leave a little room to be able to peek at the paper behind, double sided paper is the best for this.  I added a heart punch to their bottom feathers and leaf punches for their wings. Black pen for the legs and eyes. For the beaks I just hand cut a triangle.


  • Spellbinders - Circle dies
  • P13 - Secret Garden paper pack
  • Little heart punch (tail feathers)
  • Martha Stewart - Leaf punch
  • Fiskars - Grass border punch
  • Whimsy stamps - Simple sentiments stamp set


Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

    Those birdies are so sweet, Connie. I wouldn't mind at all if some pretty birds such as these, came and visited me in my garden. =)

    Your colorful birds are absolutely charming! I love how you used double-sided paper to create the peek-a-boo effect and the little details like heart punch tail feathers and leaf punch wings. Such a thoughtful and creative card for your sister’s new granddaughter!
