Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 69- For the Birds Entry

Hey Everyone!

I’ve got a quick post today about this fun bird-filled birthday card that I made for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #69: For the Birds.

For this challenge, my first thought was “do I even have a set with a bird in it?”. I very quickly found out I had MANY sets with birds. Some sets, the birds were the main animals featured. Other sets, they were background animals. And I decided that I wanted use as many of them as I could to create an A2-sized Bird-thday Party card!

I used a very simple color palette for this card, so instead of telling you how to color each individual bird, I have the Copic Marker color palettes used:

• Pink: RV11, RV13, RV14, RV17
• Yellow: Y11, Y15, Y17
• Green: YG01, YG05, YG07
• Blue: B00, B02, B04
• Purple: V01, V04, V06

I will say that for the Peacock with the spread tail feathers, I did go in with a darker shade for each tear drop shape on the feathers. I don’t have those exact colors available, but I would go up to the next highest saturation within your color group, or improvise if it isn’t available (it’s a small enough space that if you had to get creative with a similar color choice, I doubt it would do anything to detriment your image).

Also, one thing I love about Lawn Fawn products is that they always have good puns for sentiments! So, I decided to take sentiments from 2 Lawn Fawn sets (Year 4 & Peacock Before n’ Afters) to mash-up my own sentiment!

Here are the Lawn Fawn sets and products used in this project:

• Fortune Teller Tabby (Cake Table)
• Birthday Before n’ Afters (Gifts, Bird in Open Gift, & Cake)
• Flamingo Together (Male & Female Flamingo)
• Year 4 (“Bird” Sentiment, Little Bird- Facing Right, Balloon & Small Party Hat)
• Peacock Before n’ Afters (“Happy Birthday!” Sentiment, Male Peacock, Female Peacock & Striped Party Hat)
• Happy Easter (Little Bird- Facing Left)
• Spiffy Speckles Paper (Sky)
• Knock on Wood Paper (Grass)
• Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables Die
• Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables Die
• Grassy Border Die

Thank you so much for reading! I hope this project inspires you to go out and create something, even if it doesn’t have a single bird in it!

Update!
