Whittle Rainbow Birds

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


These rainbow birds were cut from a piece of watercolor that Jack did.  He painted wide
strips of shimmery color that worked perfectly for the Poppystamps Challenge to use
rainbow colors.

I've embossed three strips with three different embossing folders then die cut
the bottom with this scallop die.  Then I added some stick die cuts for the birds
to perch on.

Since there wasn't any violet paint, I stamped the sentiment with Gorgeous Grape.

Challenges:
Day of the Month Card Club - Find a Rainbow Day
Poppystamps - Sending Rainbows




Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Love the colors of your birds. But I must say Bonnie - your embossed background is amazing. The stick die cut pattern is perfect with the embossed background. Fascinatingly beautiful!!

I like your idea and design very much. It looks like the birds have taken their places on a trellis in the garden. Glad you joined us at DotMCC. Gundi

Great teamwork, Jack and Bonnie! The shimmery pastel rainbow birds are so pretty perching on the sticks. You did an amazing job of combining 3 embossing folders to make the beautiful background!
