Chatty Birds

Hi all! I spent the weekend with my daughter at the beach...ahhhh, the beach! Love it there! I even got up at 6 a.m. yesterday morning and went for a walk along the water...threw in a couple VERY short jogs too (oh my!). I've always wanted to get up early and go for a walk along the water by myself..finally did it! {smile} We did those old-time photos while we were there too, dressing up as flapper girls and posing next to an old car. Too fun! It's funny that my card is all about two birds chatting....it reminds me of ALL the talking my daughter and I did this weekend.

So anyway, today I want to show you another card I made using images from the SUPER adorable Aussie Animals set from Angel's Landing. Can you tell I love this set? It's so cute! Four birds were printed out on PTI white CS, two were cut out and popped up on foam tape. The grey mat circles behind the birds are also up on foam tape. The sentiment was sponged with bashful blue ink.

These birds are called Kookaburras.....isn't that just FUN to say?! Hee! Anyway, I had never heard of them until the fabulously talented Kathy (Wattle) gave me a little Aussie bird lesson after she saw my Angels Landing card last week. Kookaburras are native Austrialian birds, their calls sound like they're laughing (loudly), and they're typically golden brown and white, but some have blue on their wings and tails...oh my, *I'm* very chatty today, huh? Back to the card....

The polka dot frame is a Spellbinders that I got from Taylored Expressions and it's cut/embossed on DP from the June Key Ingredients Subscription Kit. I added a second one on the inside of the card too. The bow was tied with my Bow Easy.

Here's a close-up:
