Just a Note

As excited as I was to begin making Christmas cards a few months ago…. I’m ready to get on to other things!

So, here is a totally non-holiday card.  The birds image started as a doodle a few years ago. My hubby said “You should take that to the computer and play with it.”

Hence Wordbirds were born. I love opening the image in Photoshop and “filling” their wings and bodies with colors and patterns. I enjoy printing these birdies on an assorted array of papers such as watercolor, Cryogen White, and heavy weight card stocks.

Today I’ve printed on a digital paper called Pure White Gloss.

 

Pure White Gloss from The Papertemptress store is the same paper that most of your favorite high end glossy magazines are printed on. I love this text weight glossy paper for printing my birds! My card and post-it note cover also feature Recycled Classic Natural. It has such a richly textured surface and takes a rubber stamp image beautifully.

These projects are very clean and simple, yet the contrasting textures add such a nice touch. I’m enjoying experimenting with all the lovely papers to be found at the Papertemptress store. You can order most of these specialty papers in very small quantities if you choose. Isn’t that such a nice way to try them out before investing in a whole pack?!

Stop by and drool over some of  those fabulous papers!  ;D

they are beautiful, your hubby made a great suggestion, your card and post it note cover are awesome, it's pretty cool that you can colour them perfectly on a computer then print, that's incredible :)

Love the birds, your cards and the small cedar(?) chest you've used in the photo -- I have a similar chest that belonged to my mother.

Oh Diana - these wee birds are fabulous - I did not realise you had designed them - so glad your DH persuaded you to develop them.
Love your cards too ;-)
Blessings

Your Wordbirds are precious and adorable, Diana! I love my Wordbird cards you've sent me! They would make perfect cards for a large variety of occasions. My children and nieces adore them too! Thank you for the blessings you are always sharing!
