The stamp and sentiment are from Art Impressions. I did a little embossing on the oval and then cut out the "lovely" bird and mounted it on top. The sentiment was stamped crooked and I'd LOVE to say that was done on purpose to maybe give it some character or something........ however...........well, you know. Blame it on bifocals! Yes!
I turned the sketch sideways in order to use this for the Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge and also at Art Impressions (masculine).
Thanks for stopping by.............

A fabulous card,love the image.xxx
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at this bird, Lynn! He's so ugly, he's cute! Love how he's sitting on the embossed panel and the plaid background softens his scowl!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely can identify with the way this bird feels! LOL Your coloring is perfection and I love that plaid paper and the stitched panels! That is the funniest sentiment I've seen in a long time too ;) Thanks for sharing this delightful card with the Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge, and we look forward to having you join us again soon! Thanks for the smiles ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this card Lynn, the bird looks fabulous. Your interpretation of the sketch is fabulous.

I have always loved this AI stamp. I have some real oldies, but never got this one. Your coloring is supreme! The sentiment is the best.
ReplyDeleteI had a big wide smile on my face...the minute I saw this card...So cute! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and funny card Lynn! I love this old buzzard! He makes me smile, as it is good that I'm not the only one looking like this these days. haha You have colored him up perfectly Lynn and I love that you sat him on an embossed oval. Love the plaid paper you used too. Your sentiment doesn't look crooked, but then again, I have bifocals too. lol Anyway a great take on the sketch my friend! Keeping hubby in my prayers. Big Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteToo funny, my friend. I love what you did with that sketch!
ReplyDeleteThis is fun yet gorgeous! Your colouring is beautiful and I like your card design, nice job with the sketch! Funny sentiment too, hehe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous masculine card Lynn!! You colored that fun bird image perfectly and I love the embossed oval background!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super fun card! Thank you for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteI know a grumpy guy or two who would love this card, Lynn! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteFun and funny too! I love your coloring- great sketch card!!!
ReplyDeleteUmm...yeah! I've been relating to this bird's thoughts for the last couple of days not having anything done I want! LOL!! I just LOVE it and I think it would make anyone smile! The texture and layers are awesome with your design here my friend!! Wishing you a happy day! HUGS
ReplyDeleteThis guy is gonna make somebody smile when they open your cute card. Each time you've used this image, it's been cute as can be, and you're very clever at designing with this particular image. Embossing on the stitched oval added some 'class' to this grumpy fella and I just love the sentiment. Sure fits the birthday bird,and just a lot of fun. (The sentiment was just right stamped the way it was on this card too!) Stay cool. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn, this is so funny! The bird is a hoot all by itself, but then that sentiment cracked me up. I love that plaid paper and this is a cute design. Glad I scrolled back a little when I got back or I would have missed this delightful card.
ReplyDeleteHee hee...Bluebird of happiness..he is AWEsome Lynn..fabulous colouring and love the dimension and texture..
