Julie's Creative Stamping: Sweet Songbirds Angry Birds Fushion!

Angry Birds it is! I original saw the idea to turn these sweet songbirds into angry birds on a video by Kylie Bertucci from Australia! I fell in love with them so decided to create some of my own that are harassing our cute little hedgehog!

This card was designed by combining the Sweet Songbird Bundle and the Happy Hedgehog Bundle Below you will find the card cuts, instructions, supply list and a link to a video that I did showing how to transform these birds!

Stamping/Blending:

1. On one of the 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White pieces do the following:

A. Using Tahitian Tide ink and a blending brush start off the sheet and start blending from the top edge down about 3/4 of the way making is lighter as you go!

B. Using Granny Apple Green ink and a blending brush start off the sheet from the bottom edge and blend up to the Tahitian Tide making it lighter as you go up!

C. Using Granny Apple Green and the grass stamp from Happy Hedgehogs stamp across bottom edge leaving space between each stamped images as you will be coming in with another color next!

D. Next Using Old Olive and the same stamp, stamp the grass between the last grass images along the bottom edge.

E. Using Early Espresso ink and the branch stamp from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set, stamp two limbs, one coming in from the right side and one coming in from the left side spacing them as shown above.

F. Using Mossy Meadow ink stamp the leaves from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set, onto the end of the branches as shown above.

2. On the next 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White piece stamp the following: (Note: make sure to stamp all the images below leaving enough space to either fussy cute, die cut or punch out)

A. Using Sweet Sorbet ink stamp both of the Sweet Songbirds and wings from the Sweet Songbird stamp set (Note: See Video for help positioning the larger bird so you can cut it out easier with the punch) - Color in birds bodies with light crumb cake. Set Aside.

B. Stamp three mushrooms and the larger Hedgehog from the Happy Hedgehog stamp set in Black Memento ink. Then color in with Stamp N Write markers, I used Early Espresso ink (Dots on mushroom) and top of stem, Sweet Sorbet (Mushroom tops), Crumb Cake (for bottom of stem). Set Aside.
