Quite Curvy

 


It's time for another challenge with:




Sketches are definitely up to personal interpretation however the idea behind this one is to use nine items of any one shape.  (For example, stars, hearts, triangles, etc.)  Do feel free to mix and match colors/patterns, flip and/or rotate the sketch to your liking.


I just love these cheeky little birds from the Quite Curvy stamp set (available from 3 November 2020)! They remind me of the Willy Wagtails that visit our home each year. Such feisty little birds too! We have a pair nesting at our next door neighbour's house and they spend much of their day searching for insects at our place. They are unbelievably protective when nesting and when their young are unable to fly, there are not many things that they don't take on if they feel anything is getting too close to their babies! I have been amazed at them taking on 2 or 3 magpies at once (at least 3 or 4 times their size), plovers, cats and people! We had been feeding the neighbour's cat while they were away and they wouldn't let us go in the back door!! At first they just warned us with their chitter chatter but then we obviously crossed their line and they started dive bombing us! My husband is over 6ft tall, but they didn't care! We had to enter via one of the other doors! They still kept a very watchful eye on us from the ridge of the roof and a tall tree, the whole time reminding us, very vocally, that we were not to cross the line again!! Believe me, we took their advice!! 😂😂😂

  2. Great use of the Curvy Creations stamps for your wonderful card. I really like the fact that you didn't colour the birds. And, I love the shape, size and look of those little birds too. I also loved your story of the Willy Wagtails. Nice glimpse at life.
