Playground Challenge #485

 Time for another Playground challenge and in honour of Dudley's birthday the prize this time is doggy themed.  Those of us who follow this challenge will be well aware that he is an important member of the team and we love reading about his various exploits.  He is six years old today 😉 Happy Birthday Dudley.

My card this time is just a bit of silliness really with an odd bird built up using a selection of abstract die cuts.  I've watched some YouTube videos made by Deb Hallett who has come up with some really fun (and whacky) characters.  HERE is a link to her channel, well worth a watch - you might like to make yourself a cuppa before you sit down though 🤣  My effort isn't a patch on hers and I need lots more practice but I did enjoy trying to make it look halfway decent, just need to get my imagination working.  All the components of the bird were cut from some of my many small snippets and the wording was printed on the computer. I wasn't sure quite how to 'ground' the bird so he is perched rather precariously on a miniature stool !!   I also remembered to take a pic of the left over scraps before they were swept into the bin.

  6. Oh Val, this birdie is brilliant! So quirky and he has amazing balance too! Well done on the snippets busting as well.

    Dudley says thank you for your kind words - if you understand a series of woofs that is.

    Hugs
