Vintage Ephemera Bird

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

I promised to be back soon with the bird from the Wplus9 Vintage Ephemera.
Here he is...


I've paired him with the Scripted Background stamp from the same company.
It's been inked with Bundled Sage DOX ink and spritzed before stamping.

The bird was inked with Distress Markers and the color moved around with a damp brush,
then fussy cut when dry.

I used the Eclipse Technique to cut a heart from the background and cut another
from a bit of foam.  Glued together and put back in, it gives added dimension.

Finally I added my favorite die cut pine boughs and a sentiment from another
Wplus9 set.

Oh, I do love your Bluebird, Bonnie! Love the scripty paper you've created and of course he deserves this sweet heart!
We often see them perched at the very tip top of our pine tree so those favorite pine boughs are quite appropriate!
An exquisite card, my friend - thanks for sharing it with us today!

Very pretty vintage style card. Love the background you created and the Eclipse heart is perfect for the lovely bluebird to rest on, along with the pine branch. Love everything about your card. TFS

The only thing better than seeing this marvelous blue bird on your card is the one that was in my bird feeder yesterday. I have never seen any here before and I was ecstatic. I only hope he comes back. The heart, scripty stamp and my favorite pine branch gave him a perfect place to perch. This is such a fabulous card, Bonnie.

Loving this vintage look, Bonnie! I'm noting your script background technique. It has never occurred to me to spritz a script stamp, but I love the look of it. Pretty with the raised heart and, of course, that beautiful bird and branch.

This is a delightful beautiful card Bonnie, and the prettily coloured bird and pine branches look great over the raised up heart cut out of the background, and the watery script works brilliantly. x

Fabulous card, Bonnie! I love the beautiful blue bird. The background is terrific with the stamped script and the popped up heart.

A beautiful card Bonnie - love the eclipse treatment of the heart - it adds subtle dimension and looks amazing - that is a great technique you have used to enhance the heart without overpowering the rest of the card. A sweet bird image and beautifully coloured too.
Blessings

The pop of the blue bird on your card with all the lovely touches is quite eye-catching.

Beautiful card and beautiful bird. Unfortunately, the translator doesn't do a good job and I don't quite understand how you colored this bird. It looks really stunning.
