The first bird is a SU punch that I've had for ages, it's a real favourite of mine, with an Aqua and Kraft colourscheme that is also well used by me, My starting point for texture here was the rather hairy twine that the bird is perched on! I added some embossing to the background and also to the bird's wing for a bit more texture. SU bird punch, Mama Elephant sentiment.
The sentiment on this card might just be construed as a threat by my hens, who haven't produced an egg between them in months! Hen and sentiment both Woodware, my texture comes from the feather, Glossy Accents on the heart and comb and the embossed background. Coloured with Copics, hopefully looking a bit like a Light Sussex, though with spots! I added some raffia 'straw' for a nest bur it looked too busy that that was removed.
Hi Anne, two fabulous cards the texture on the first is fantastic especially with the gorgeous contrasting colours. Had to laugh at the second cards sentiment and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the hens laid at least a dozen after this !.
