We're here to "chirp" you up. . .

April 03, 2024

I'm here today to take the latest Gerda creation out for a "test flight" - Happy Birthday Birds. This is a digital stamp collection packed full of possibilities. You can simply print, cut, color and give, or you can add an extra touch of creativity.

For my first outing I have these sweet little birdies serenading bunny and friend*, as they lounge beneath the birdies' tree.

I resized and rotated the digital image with the blank signs, to create a portrait card. With the addition of a hillside for the bunny to rest on, I only had to extend the lines of the tree trunk a bit, creating some distance between the branch and the ground. To minimize background coloring, I outlined the tree, birds and notes in light blue and cut the hillside from patterned paper. I used a copic multiliner to add my sentiment to the signs.

And yes, I also took my birdies outside to have their picture taken. They insisted!!

The birdies are colored with copic markers in the hues of my favorite birds.

Bluebird: FB2, B24, B32

Cardinal: R29, R27, R35

Robin: E74, E71, E70, glossy accents used on the spectacles

Beaks: Y17, Y15

*Bunny and birdie are from the GSD "How Are Ewe" stamp set. Additional sentiments are from the GSD "Cup of Love" stamp set.

Have fun and happy crafting~Debbie
