After thinking of all the bird stuff in my stash, I decided on a gorgeous color layering bird stamp. Originally I planned to color layer one bird & stamp just the outline on the other bird, coloring it with Copics. Well, on the second birdie I just Copic blended the wing then color layered the rest. With the white card stock I used, I ended up filling in some of the white patches with Copic coloring atop the layering stamps on both birds. I loved the very different looks from the two color schemes. Stamping & some die cutting - easy peasy!! Here's a closer look:

I love how you created such unique looks with each bird, Linda! Fabulous set of cards!
two beautiful cards Linda. You certainly made your birds look quite different. Really lovely.
Two gorgeous cards and so different looking! Love the colours you've used on the birds and thankyou for playing along at Watercooler Wednesday, Cathy x
That's an incredible bird, Linda. You've given him two completely different looks, and I'm mad about these cards! Your Christmas card is fantastic, and I love how you've used all the colors here. Your note card is darling. Sitting against that blue sky, he really pops! Awesome coloring here, too. Great cards. Thanks for joining us at The Twofer Challenge! Bev
Oh, dear, now I think my NBUS mountain will get higher with the addition of that cool HA bird die. You really did a fabulous job of turning it into two completely different and beautiful birds, Cheryl, and I love both of your designs! I am smiling at the "Just a Note" with a single musical note - perfect! Thank you for playing in TCC #40 and sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
A terrific twofer with the bird - delightful!
