To make my card I first cut out a circle on alcohol ink friendly cardstock using 5726 - Nested Circle Dies. Then I stamped the image and added one additional bird on the left side. I knew this was going to be about friends so I had to have two birds! I colored the bird bath with cool gray markers and made one bird with a blue breast and the other with a red breast. These guys are friends even though they're very different from each other. Do you have any friendships that are the same? I bet you do.
After I finished coloring the stamped images, I used a blender stick from Ranger and applied some blue ink here and there to make a sky. I grounded the birdbath with a warm gray marker. Though simple to color, the effect is nice.
There's a lot going on in the card background but it doesn't overpower the birds. I enjoy combining patterns and you're good to go when you use Ai Paper packs because each pack coordinates perfectly together. I used a a piece of patterned paper from 5892 - Easter S2 Paper Pack and cut it with a lattice background die. I cut a middle rectangle piece out of the same paper pack for the center and behind it all, I used another design from the same pack.
Thanks so much for joining me here at the blog today. As always, please visit the Ai store for the products I used and all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Happy creating!
