Birdbrain Inner Tube Summer Card

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #160 offered a sketch and an optional twist to use cool blues, and or, water. I selected Inner Tube Birdbrain and added him to a background of sun and sea. I used some watercolor paper with painted on Distress Inks, stamped and embossed in white. I added a strip of cheerful washi tape and edged both the card and the image with Distress Ink. The image is popped up for some interest.

Birthday Candle Birdbrain

Something Funny is the optional twist this week at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz. I found a Birdbrain image, Birthday Candle Birdbrain, from our sponsor, From the Heart, that has just the funniest expression! It also comes with several different sentiments.

The background is done on watercolor cardstock. It has several shades of Distress Inks blended and then spattered with Heidi Swap Color Shine in gold. I added a silver die cut shape, some waxed twine,  and some blue flat pearls.

Cheers from Birdbrain

The optional twist this week over at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz, is to do something "for the guys"! Our sponsor, From the Heart Stamps has the fun digi with Birdbrain and beer. Well, I have several male beer drinkers in my family, so this image will be used many times!

Sick Chick

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #152 offered a sketch and an optional twist to enlarge and crop the image. I wasn't able to enlarge the image since the original was already large and he would not have fit on the card. This poor and terribly ill little Birdbrain image is called Sick Chick.  I used Gina Marie Designs dies, Fine and Dandy paper from Echo Park, Queen Co dies for the green which is popped over the striped paper. The image has a bit of Broken China Distress inks.

Thank you so much for visiting. I really appreciate your comments.

Bouquet Chick

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #151 offered a sketch and an optional twist to try a handwritten sentiment. I did both this week. This pretty little Birdbrain image is called Bouquet Chick. I used my own handwritten, you can tell I'll bet LOL, sentiment. I used Gina Marie Designs dies. Martha Stewart corner punch, Paper Studio Adhesive Chevron paper, yellow ribbon, and tiny flat pearls.

If you love these Birdbrain images, hurry over to From the Heart to get one for free! I'm sure this generous offer won't last long but was still available on this posting day.

Fishing Birdbrain

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #149 offered a sketch and an optional twist to use die cuts. I did both this week. This cutie is called "Fishing Birdbrain" and comes with the sentiment. I used Gina Marie Designs dies.

Did you ever have one of those days when you went nuts with color? Well, birdbrain just was begging for some Copic play today. I also got a bit carried away with the background papers. The top stripped paper has added matching Copic color to help it coordinate a bit more. The image, fish, and sentiment are all popped with dimensional tape. Kind of crazy, but always fun. I love Birdbrain!

Birdbrain and Wine

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #143 offered a sketch and an optional twist to add  elements from your stash. I did both this week. This bird is called "Birdbrain Wine" and comes with the sentiment.

I thought I'd give Birdbrain a "feather color treatment" and turned him into a blue bird this time. Do you think he minds? I just loved the background paper and so he just had to be blue this week LOL!

The element is some sparkly enamel dots from my stash. I added some Distress Inks to the image and sentiment. The sentiment and dark purple shapes were die cut with parts of the Darice Nesting Book Pages set. I used a clear gel pen on the glass and Wink of Stella on the bottle. The sentiment is popped for dimensional interest.

Copic Markers Birdbrain - From the Heart

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #142 offered a sketch and an optional twist to add  IG sentiment. I did manage to do both this week. This bird is called "Copic Markers Birdbrain" and comes with the sentiment. I adore this set since I am a Copic crazy person LOL! I used a striped paper and then used another piece for the angle and added some Washi tape to it.  The sentiment is edged with Distress Inks. The die cuts come from Gina Marie. A couple of big enamel dots topped the front.

Innertube Birdbrain

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #140 offered a sketch and an optional twist to add a shaped card. I always try to do both, but I admit to being baffled as to what a "shaped" card was. Square is a shape and so is rectangle and a circle. Too confused, so, I had to skip that part this week.  I selected this funny birdbrain stamp called Inner Tube Birdbrain. I used my Gina Marie stitched circles and squares and a bit of baker's twine. The edges are done with Distress Inks in Wild Honey. A bit of Wink of Stella was added to the eyes and circles of the inner tube.

From the Heart with Birdbrain

I found a new designer of fun digi's, and a new sketch to use. From the Heart and I Heart Sketches With a Twist.  Do check out the sweet images and sentiments available!

My first entry into the sketch challenge is a CAS. We were to add strips of paper. I used the cute little bird, called Birthday Candle Birdbrain. He is just too funny :)  I had to use one of the sentiments that came with the set on the inside and I used more strips of paper as well.
