Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Also, a warm welcome to my new followers. Today is a quick post because I wanted to get this card posted before I forgot about it. The card was for a birthday and has already been sent to the recipient... my memory is good but it's also short!
I tried smooshing again... I have a love-hate relationship with that technique! I love the look but hate all the paper I waste because I'm never really happy with the splotches. And of course, I stress that too much... it doesn't HAVE to be perfect and in fact, in can't be perfect so I need to relax about it.
I love this Crazy Bird set and can see it being a set I use over and over and over. For the smooshing, I used Tim Holtz's Evergreen Bough and Scattered Straw.
Have a great week!

Marilyn, your crazy bird card is wonderful! Love the color choices and fantastic sentiment!
Well I think your smooshing is perfect - now if I look that technique up on line - will I find it. These crazy little birds are taking over the world and if I did not snack so much my tummy would be smaller!!

Oh, my goodness, Marilyn, this is now my new most favorite card in all of Blogland!

Oh, and the doodled line, let's not forget the doodled line! I'm so loving, so pinning this card!! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
