Virginia England is back today, with another fun and quirky card guest post.\u00a0 This time she’s used our The Bird Edgar<\/a> stamp to\u00a0create a ‘thinking of you’ version.\u00a0 His tail feathers are made from\u00a0real feather fluff, but if you don’t have any on hand, she’s also provided alternate options you can try.<\/p>\n

Once again, please join me in thanking the heck out of Virginia.\u00a0 Her cards and ideas are awesome!<\/p>\n

Here begin Virginia’s instructions…<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-1\"<\/a>
\nThis is a fairly quick and easy card to make. Especially if you have some Deli Papers handy that are already inked up.<\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/h4>\n

Dark Pink Cardstock – 7\u201d x 10\u201d Scored and folded in half to make a 5 x 7 card
\nBright Pink Paper – 4 3\/4\u201d x 6 3\/4\u201d
\nPurple Paper – 4 3\/4\u201d x 6 3\/4\u201d Cut in half at a diagonal
\nDeli Paper – see the\u00a0Plain Deli Paper here<\/a>\u00a0and the Stripey style here<\/a>.
\nTim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks<\/a> in Wild Plum<\/a>, Stream<\/a> and Sailboat Blue<\/a>
\nDylusions Ink Sprays <\/a>in Crushed Grape <\/a>and Vibrant Turquoise<\/a>
\nSharpie Pen – Silver Metallic
\nGelly Roll Pens <\/a>– White<\/a> and Teal<\/a>
\nAssorted Colored Pencils<\/a>
\nPitt Pen<\/a>
\nGlitter<\/a> – Clear or White<\/a>
\nStazOn Ink Pad <\/a>– Black<\/a>
\nJoggles Rubber Stamps<\/a> – Doodle Flower #1<\/a> and The Bird Edgar<\/a>
\nFluffy Feather – [I will show you options at the end of the tutorial if you don\u2019t have a feather to use]
\nDina Wakley Gel Medium<\/a>
\nGlue<\/a>
\nFoam Tape<\/a>
\nScor Tape <\/a>or Double Sided Transfer Tape
\nOptional Items: Craft Foam Sheet and a Stylist<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to start off inking up your deli paper. I used Barb\u2019s techniques from her blog video \u201cDeli Paper & Alcohol Inks: An Unlikely Pairing\u201d.\u00a0 Much easier for you to watch the video than for me to explain it here.\u00a0 Click here<\/a> to see the Deli Paper & Alcohol Inks video.<\/p>\n

I used Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks in Wild Plum, Stream and Sail Boat Blue.<\/p>\n

Once your Deli Paper is dry, using the Black StazOn Ink Pad randomly stamp on the Deli Paper using the Joggle Rubber Stamp Doodle Flower #1. At this point I used Dylusions Ink Sprays in Crushed Grape and Vibrant Turquoise in Water Brushes to add some extra color to the Doodle Flowers. Of course it being water based it just beaded up on the Deli Paper. Which I found rather interesting so I used my heat gun to speed dry it. I liked the end result. Next I outlined the petals using the Sharpie Silver Metallic Pen and drew over the rest of the flower using the Gelli Pens in White and Teal. You may also add some random doodles on the Deli Paper if you want more business going on.<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut out your Cardstock and Papers.<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using Scor Tape or Double Sided Transfer Tape attach the Purple Triangle Paper over the Pink Paper.<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cover the entire surface with Dina Wakley Gel Medium and place the Deli Paper over it. Smooth out the Deli Paper and set aside to dry thoroughly. Once it is dried, trim the edges to fit the Purple and Pink Papers.<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While your piece is drying you can move on to stamping and coloring The Bird Edgar. I stamped out 2 images of The Bird Edgar. I used one to cut out the wing to add to the main image. My preference for coloring is Colored Pencils. But feel free to use your favorite method.<\/p>\n

Once you have him colored you can add some dimension to him if you desire. This is totally optional. If you choose to do this you will need a sheet of Craft Foam and a Stylist. Lying Edgar on the Craft Foam face down take your stylist and using a circular motion while pressing down add dimension. This will take several circular passes over the piece. Just keep doing it until you reach the desired effect. Warning: don\u2019t press down so hard that you push the stylist through your piece. The Bird Edgar would be very unhappy with you. And you with yourself no doubt. When you flip him over you\u2019ll probably need to bend his legs and beak forward just a tad.<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now attach the wing from the second image you stamped. Be sure to color it first. And only apply a tiny bit of glue to the front part of the wing. You want it to stand out a bit. Then add glitter to the wing, his tail and a few spots on his head and breast. Now add the Fluff Feather to the back side of him, behind his stamped tail.<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Make your Sentiment Tag.<\/p>\n

Using the StazOn Black Stamp Pad stamp your sentiment [I used a \u201cThinking of You\u201d stamp] onto a scrap of Pink Paper. Cut out your sentiment to a size that is appropriate. Next using ScorTape or Double Sided Transfer Tape attach the sentiment to a piece of scrap Dark Pink Cardstock. Cut around it leaving 1\/4 inch border.<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using Foam Tape attach your Sentiment Tag to the bottom left corner leaving about 1\/4\u201d border. Attach The Bird Edgar using foam tape behind his body and just a tad of glue under his foot to keep it in place. Take a Pitt Pen and scribble a few lines under his feet so he doesn\u2019t look to be floating in the air.<\/p>\n

And Wah-La you\u2019re finished!!!<\/p>\n

\"the-bird-edgar-is-thinking-of-you-9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now if you don\u2019t have any Fluffy Feathers lying around…or any feathers for that matter, you can get creative. I\u2019ve made up a few options here to show you what I mean. The possibilities are endless. Just use your imagination!!!<\/p>\n
