I felt so creative making these little bird files, so I wanted to tell you how I made them. The little birds are called Dreaming Birds from Birdie Brown.
First I printed the image from my Silhouette.
Next, I copied the image, broke it apart and filled certain parts with gradients. I further copied the wings and used them as another layer. I didn’t want the tail feathers to cut out in three tiny pieces, so I used an offset.
I cut everything out and pieced it together, then colored certain parts of the flowers. I like how they turned out, and it was a fun project!!

Totally darling and a big lesson learned from you. I read each step…you say beyond just the image. I’m. Rey impressed and envious too. I soooo glad you are loving you Christmas present of the cutting machines.
Super cute card:) Thank you for the details on how you made your image. I just got a silhouette and I love learning all the tips and tricks that could help me out.
