I cut a tag shape around the image and masked off the bird before adding Oxide inks and then stencilling with Distress inks. I did cover the tail with Oxide ink and wrongly decided to go over it with a pen, which I smudged - but hey ho - it just looks like he's shaking his tail feathers! I printed the quote and cut apart, edging with black DI before adding.
I am going to join in at Tag Tuesday where the theme this fortnight is Birds, Nests and Eggs, I still have a few days left before the challenge closes. I don't often make tags, so this was a nice change.
Thanks for calling in,
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

LOL, love your words, Avril. This is so much fun. Not a smudge in sight - we're our own worst critics, aren't we? The stencilling looks wonderful. I do love those crazy birds though we all end up with our favourites, I think.
