This week over at One Powerful Hour my good friend and fellow COF member has set the challenge as "In Flight" A few months ago I went to a stamping convention and picked up a fabulous bird themed grab bag. Inside was a transparency with the phrase "a bird does not sing because it has an answer a bird sings because it has a song." I based my submission this week off of that phrase.
I cut out a number of bird shapes and used them as masks. Painting with various shades of blue metallic paint all over the card. When that was dry I overstamped using a music score stamp. Next I attached some bookprint that I had brushed with an orangish shade to match part of the bird.
The Fabulous yellow bird was part of an old celery advertisement that I received in a Paula's Kit Club. As my finishing touches I added a few yellow rhinestones and the phrase.
This card was a lot of fun to make and not counting the drying time it was actually really fast. I think I finished everything in 40 minutes total. Hope you enjoy.
On a different note this will most likely be the last piece of art that I post for a while. Next week all of our household goods will be boxed up and shipped out to CA. I am not looking forward to being without my art outlet.
love this piece...the colours and composition are tiptop

Hi, Caroline! Good luck with your move! It's so hard to be without art materials, especially when dealing with stress, like moving stress! Hang in there! Good luck! :-)

ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. You really treated us to a beauty before you packed everything away.
I hope you have an easy move.
