Happy Anniversary Birds

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you an anniversary card I made using the Happy Birthday Birds digital greeting card from Gerda Steiner Designs.  These cute little birds come with the Happy Birthday To You greeting in the cards as well as a blank version to "make it your own".  I used the blank version and typed in my anniversary saying using Photoshop© before printing it out onto Hammermill white card stock.
 
Once I had the image printed, I colored it using my Ohuhu markers.  I then went and added the tree "canopy" above, using a long retired Stampin Up set, before lightly stippling tumbled glass distress ink for the sky and added brads.  The final touches were googlie eyes to one of the birds, prima flowers and some bling from my stash.  I'm happy with how this turned out and will probably give it to my husband for our anniversary in a couple months.

    A different style make from you - but it's great! I've just bought some markers to start my colouring journey.

    Great job combining the digi and "real". I love any excuse to add googly eyes, lol. xoxo
