I love new stuff - I mean who doesn't? But then there are papers, paints, stamps and ephemera just lying around and asking to be used.
I have been holding on to this ScrapBerry bird themed paper for ages, not daring to use it up. But why save? There will be other gorgeous papers!
I started by painting the background all white. Then I added stamped images (ancient Above the Mark rubber), the said bird and a bough of rose hips for good measure. Lastly I flicked with black and white paints to create some interest and adhered a piece of text that seemed suitable.
This is an uncharacteristically sober piece for me, but I am glad I challenged myself.

This is a very interesting card.
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous the way you combined the smart red bird with those black flowers and those dog roses. I like the background as well.
Thank you for joining the EAC challenge # 494.
