OK, so no prizes for guessing what my inspiration was for todays' card LOL! As soon as I saw this fortnights
Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Feather Weather, I remembered a very old piece of Jenni Bowlin paper in black and white with these four gorgeous birds sitting on the branch of a fruit tree. I adhered the paper to a sheet of cardstock for added rigidity and fussy cut the birdies, then using a combination of Distress Inks in
Squeezed Lemonade, Salty Ocean and
Broken China, I colour washed the birds to match the inspiration photo colours. I stamped this gorgeous Technique Tuesday
Botanika cherry blossom branch three times to create a collage of blossoms in the background, and pop-dotted the birds over the top. The Verve sentiment is stamped in
Broken China before being mounted on cardstock and Fancy Pants paper. Other than the sentiment, everything on this card is more than 5 years old, perfect for joining it at
Use it Tuesday Anything Goes! The layout is loosely based on this weeks
Clean & Simple Sketch, the colours of this weeks
Inspired By and
Catered Crops Mellow Yellow Challenge, and inked feathers from
CASE Study. Playing over at
Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes too.
