Angry Birds - II

Morning all.

Please forgive the length between posts of late. Someone appears to have left the gate open on my life and all is coming and going MUCH quicker than I would like!!!

I wish to share with you the 2nd of the Angry Birds cards I did. You will find all the links for tutorials etc in my previous post here. This one involves the YELLOW angry bird.....

 

Once again I used Paula Dobson's cloud making technique to do the sky of which the link is in my previous post. I love the look that it gives and it cleans so very easily too....a BIG bonus!!

 

 

Here is the yellow bird close up. If you can believe it, the hardest thing to do was the darn eyebrows!!! Thankfully I had an epiphany....I used a triangle punch and I trimmed 2 of the sides. Worked a charm!

 

 

Here is the bird and his sling shot. Yes...I persevered with the PVA and the rubber band, but this time I knew what I was up for and was prepared.

 

 

Thanks for popping by and for you patience with my tardy posting. Be back soon....I promise.

CS: (SU) Pacific Point, Basic Black, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzaz, generic yellow textured CS and blue glitter CS fm Alice's

Angry Birds - I

Morning all.

I finally jumped on the Angry Birds bandwagon. I only played the game (for the 1st time) not so long ago. When I am out shopping, I see them everywhere...on T-shirts, plush toys, activity books...you name it, they are there. Therefore, it was not a hard stretch to make them into a card!! If you put it into your Google search engine, it goes NUTS!! There are also many fantastic examples on SCS.

I was lucky enough to find a brilliant Angry Birds tutorial by Niki Toll here. It was really easy to follow and the results were so much fun!! I got the inspiration for my card here. This was the result.....

 

The hardest darn thing to do was to get the darn rubber band to stick to the CS!!! Finally with tweezers and a lot of PVA...I got there!! I textured the sling shot with with the Cuttlebug "Branches" EF and then sponged the embossed bits with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink. Came up alright I think! 

 

One of my favourite bits of doing this card was the sky!! I got the idea from the uber talented Paula Dobson here. Needless to say, since having the acetate template, I have used it heaps!! I cut out different sized scalloped circles and ovals and then put them together with DS tape.  Gives such a good result....

 

 

Here is the red Angry Bird a little closer up.....
