Tim holtz crazy birds cards

I have been playing with the Mini Bird Crazy & Things set. It is a great set for creating more masculine cards and just plain fun because of the great expressive faces. My latest passion is working with watercolor so all of these were done using that medium. All of the work here was done on watercolor paper that I cut to ATC size, 2 1/2" X 3 1/2". I found a watercolor paper that I like to work with that is available through Amazon that is of good quality and a 6" X 9" , 100% cotton, 140 lb…

Just popping on in between the housework, to share my uber quick Christmas card using the Crazy Birds Stamps, Dies and accessory sets.
