A few days later I had been painting a picture and had loads of Claudine's studio sky blue paint over on my craft sheet. It would have been rude to throw it away, it is such a pretty colour, so on it went randomly onto several of the prepared mountboard pieces.
While it was drying, I painted some grunge board with, you guessed it, more sky blue.( I really had lots over!) When dry, I stamped with black stazon with Jennie's lovely stamps and cut them out, first the bird cage and then the flying birds. Next I sprayed the boards with glimmer mists and when they were dry I added some gorgeous Inka-Gold silver and the pretty blue to various places. Then simply stuck on the cage and the birdies, oh and added a ribbon to hang it up with!
Now for a break! Imagine music in the background, maybe "Blue Moon."
This is day one of the snow, not much then!
Break over, Next one
More of Jennie's stamps and also a Tim Holz stamp snuck in. A scrap of orangey yellow card, edged with distress ink was used as a sun, or is it a moon, I am not sure? It is a shame you cannot see of the sparkly bits in the background, blame it on the photographer (me!)
Pause for breath! Lastly ("thank god" I hear you cry) I made a card!
More mountboard die cut into a circle. Versa marked it, sprinkled with Suze Weinberg's Blue Iris Uttee Brightz. (getting the theme, Blue,) then stamped Jennie's little bird (my favourite) into it with Black Stazon!
Cuttlebugged a piece of white card for the background, smeared (which you can't see sadly) with BLUE Inka-Gold, mounted it onto a matching blue piece of card. Stuck it on a white card and popped the bird on the top! Oh I forgot I put a smear of ice stickles on top of the blue uttee and Ink-Gold silver! Looks much better in real life.
Happy Christmas Everyone!
