Make 3.25” x 5” card base.
Create the sentiment in a Word document, print, cut panel to 3" x 4.75", and adhere to card front.
Stamp bird on panel and outline crown feathers and legs with colored pencils.
Stamp bird again on a scrap of cardstock and color.
Dot glints in bird's eyes with white pen and apply Glossy Accents to bird's eyes.
Once the Glossy Accents has dried, fussy-cut the bird's body, (chop off the legs and crown feathers) and run the brush-tip marker along the cut edge.
Adhere the bird's body to the stamped image on the card using dimensional tape.

If you don't have a stamp for the sentiment you need, look to your computer! Here's how I made my sentiment above:

Open a Word document and insert a 3" x 4.75" text box.
Position the text box near the upper left corner of your document so you don't waste paper. 😉
Select font and type sentiment toward the bottom.
Fiddle around with different fonts, sizes, and positioning until satisfied.
Left click on the text box and select Format Shape from the dropdown list.
Select Line from the menu.
In the color field, select No Line and then select Okay.
Print your document and cut panel as needed.

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!

*The CCC ("Card Chain Challenge") is an international card exchange - you send a handmade card to the person above you on the list, and you receive one from the person below you on the list. If that's not enough of a win-win, I also randomly draw a prize winner each month. I reveal all the cards with links to each maker's blog or online photo gallery - which is a great way to increase exposure to your blog or photo gallery!. Please read the Rules and FAQ's if you want to play along. 😊
