need caffeine

Lynda has chosen ‘things with wings – real or fantasy as the theme for our current challenge at Cardz4Galz and I decided to use this stamp from Rabbit Hole Designs because it amuses me. This is me when I first get up, haha. Perhaps an Ostrich doesn’t fly, but it does have wings.

After stamping the image I spent some time colouring it using some inks and pencils then I fussy cut around it keeping my fingers crossed I wouldn’t lose the loose feathers. I added foam tape to the back and set it aside while I figured out the rest of the card. I took some cream CS and cut a layer to go behind the coffee background paper and added them to the Cocoa card front. Then I used a smaller Infinity Oval die from Hero Arts and an embossing folder over it. I used the debossed side and attached the ostrich to it before gluing it in place. Another small cream strip for the heat embossed sentiment and I decided the card was done. I’m debating whether to add embellishments, but for now am leaving well enough alone. My hubby chuckled with this one and agrees that without my morning coffee, I’m a bit like this.

Thanks for stopping by. We hope to see your creations in our gallery and hope that you have fun making your own versions.
