Shake A Tail Feather

Lynda has chosen birds for her challenge theme here at https://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/ and she will also be choosing the winners. In a previous post I mentioned having the fallouts strips from the Blind die and I also had this banner negative space that I had inked, using a stamp from the Kokorosa set, for another project. I thought the fallout pieces would look good to fill this space so I added tape and proceeded to lay them down. As I had had trouble with the Kokorosa die, trying several times, the inked pieces are actually an art work panel that a friend gave me. The bendy portion of the blinds didn’t cut but the straight parts did. I thought adding them alternately would look nice and I am happy I thought of doing this. The sentiment and 2 chickens are also Kokorosa and I coloured them with pencils and water. The smaller of the two was fussy cut because I wanted the chicken to face the other so I mirror stamped it. I haven’t figured out how to die cut a mirror image although most likely there is a way to do it. I kept to the pink theme and added the panel to a pink card front.

I’m quite happy with how this ended up and like the fun of the images. As I often rush around like a chicken with her head cut off, it amuses me to make a card like this one. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your time and any comments you leave for me.

  7. This is a fun one! Great job on it.

    I’ve found that if your paper is light enough to see through with light behind it, you can place the die on the back side and cut it out. I think I’ve only done it once or twice as it was quicker to just fussy cut.
