Golden Summer

Hello!  I am back finally with a quick card for the Monochromatic challenge at A Vintage Journey.  I am working on a second monochromatic card. (So stay tuned)  This also reflects how our summer fun happens around here. Lot's of outside gardening with many birds chirping and sharing their nests in our trees.  The Anything But Cute Challenge is Summer Fun.

The birds are cooing, singing, chirping and crowing all night and day around here.  It starts in the spring and continues through the summer. 

I decided that  yellow was a happy color to use for my monochromatic colors.  I started with the mini stencil and sprayed a mix of the mustard seed, squeezed lemonade, fossilized amber over the stencil to get my fun circles. I then stamped the bird and colored with the same spray colors.  I have pieces of bark off the trees on my desk in a bowl and thought it would be fun to use behind the bird.

I had time this weekend to play a little and was inspired by the Mixed Media Place Dream March Challenge.

I created a journal page with the soft blues, and pink colors.

Here is the inspiration board:

Time to Enjoy

No real theme today other than sneaking in a little creativity here and there.  This was something I played around with last week. I had all my lovely Darkroom Door stamps sitting on my desk and decided to play with a color scheme of gray, yellow and orange.  The blue snuck in as it was supposed to be a lovely lavender.

I stamped the background with the damask and then added a touch of the script in a pale ochre color.  The bird and background are stamped in varying shades of gray and then I added blue highlights. 

I stamped the bird twice once on the background and a second time to color and cut the body and place over the original bird.

Christmas PostCards

Another oldy but goody for Day 22!  I love this Stampendous collage stamp with the bird. 

All I had to do was stamp it and add some color.  I trimmed it out with some Ric-Rac and a rusty old heart.

I colored it again with my favorite STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell watercolor pencils.   Maybe that will be my New Years Resolution to rotate through my coloring choices (watercolor pencils, distress inks, copics... :)

Christmas is coming!  Everyone is home and we are enjoying some time together between everyone running off with their friends!

Sing A Song

Welcome to the Artistic Outpost Monthly Hop.  This month's hop is anything goes and the design team has created some beautiful projects!

I have been creating projects for my MIL who has a birthday and mother's day in May.  So this will be one of her cards.

I pulled out the beautiful Bloom & Grow plate to crate a frame for my flowers and bird.

I used the rulers to create the background for my card.   I added several seed packets with a bird and the poppies.

The sets used for this are Artistic Outpost - Birds of Feather, Bloom and Grow, Flower Market, Whimsical Melange.  I used a combination of Glimmer Mists to get the pretty yellows on my background.  I sponged distress inks around the edges.

Hop Along and see all the fabulous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team!
