So Tweet

Hello...

Have you seen the new So Tweet stamp set from Winnie & Walter? It's fabulous and you get so many stamps for your money ... Which is always a good thing!
Actually it was seeing my friend Keren's card Here that made me buy that set ...Keren is a brilliant designer and I have her to thank for spending my money Lol!


Anyway, my husband forgot his friend's birthday and as I didn't have a card on hand that was suitable for a guy... I was only too happy to make one using a bird from the W & W set... 


His friend is struggling with some major health issues and never complains so I wanted to make something to make him smile... I think this will


My hubby wear spectacles and I thought it would be fun to put some on the birdie too... though this guy has a lot more coverage on the top of his head than my hubby Lol!

The branch is a die from Memory Box and like the bird it is coloured with Copics, the balloon (cut from vellum and coloured with a copic) and the sentiment are from the Wplus9 Unforgettable set and the BG was sponged and splattered.

Wishing you a lovely day

He's wonderful! Love the addition of the glasses. You've inspired me to use my inks more lately. I'm learning how to not have such a heavy hand with them. I'm sure this made your hubbys friend smile. Who can resist a bird with that kind of personality. Hugs!
