Very Merry Bird Tower

Hey there!  Katie Brooks here, back for one more guest post!  It has been so fun to be able to play with GSD stamps, they are so whimsical and sweet.  The card I have today is no exception, I used the images in combo to make a fun bird tower. 

Aren't they fricking cute!  I love these darling birds and they make such a fun wobbly tower complete with their Christmas tree!

I stamped the images from the Season's Tweetings set and colored them with copics.  I used E25, E23, E21, YR16, YG25, YG17, YG03, R37, R35, R14, C03, C01, C05, B01, B000, and V91.  I have to say, the Pigeon set is one of my faves and I really wanted to make that middle bird look like a pigeon, not sure if it is meant to be, but works for me!  Next, I cut these cuties out and set them aside. 

1Next I pulled out this fun gold snowflake DP and cut it to 4 X 5.25.  I also had this strip of candy cane stripe paper and pulled cut that into a strip and made the end have a chevron.  (Both of these piece's of DP are scraps and I don't know who made them, though I am guessing the red and white is Doodlebug Designs).  Next, I adhered the red to the snowflakes and the snowflakes to the white base with EZ Tear Tape.  I stamped my sentiment with black ink.  Next, I added in my birds creating them into this fun tower.  I finished it off with some Trinity Stamps red pearls, adhered with glue dots. 

Of the 2023 holiday cards I have made thus far, this is one of my faves, I just love the whimsy of it.  I may give this one to my dad, who is a bird lover.  

Well, again, it has been a pleasure to be here and I thank GSD for having me.  I hope you enjoyed this post!  Please check me out on IG under the handle katieannbrooks.  Have a fantastic weekend! ~Katie
