Time to get Angry!!

Angry Birds, that is! I made this picture for my son to hang in his room. He's only three, but he loves playing Angry Birds on my phone, my husband's phone, my mother-in-law's phone...you get my drift. I've seen lots of examples of Stampin' Up! demonstrators making these guys, so I had to try one myself.

This is a 4x6 frame, so I started with a 4x6 piece of Pacific Point cardstock. I tore a 6" long strip of Old Olive to lay across the bottom for grass. The bird is made using the 1-3/8" circle punch. I punched a full circle in Real Red and in Whisper White. I repunched the white piece to create the belly. The eyes are made with the circle from the Itty Bitty punch set. The top and tail feathers are made with a mini five petal flower punch. I actually found it at Michael's with the American Girl stuff but it's an EK Success punch identical in style to the ones Stampin' Up! carries. I free-hand cut the eyebrows and used the pennent punch to creat the triangles for the beak. (Just slide the cardstock into the punch a liiiiiiiiiiitle bit!) The pig is another 1-3/8" circle in Old Olive, a 1/2" circle in Pear Pizzaz, two more itty bitty circles for the eyes, and more petals from the min flower punch for the ears. Finally, I punched out a bunch of pieces with my Word Window punch to create the tower of boards for the pig to sit on. Honestly, I think typing this description took me almost as long to create the whole picture - it's a pretty fast punch art design. And best of all, my son was absolutely delighted with it when he woke up from his nap and he already has it hanging in his room!
