Saturday heralds another challenge from Less Is More and this week their theme is 'UP IN THE AIR' I deliberated over aircraft and butterflies but settled on birds. Over at CAS-ual Friday their challenge is BLACK AND WHITE PLUS ONE COLOUR. This card will hopefully fit the bill for both challenges.
I sponged the background using two colours only and stamped the tree by Hobby Art and 'Blackbirds' (OK, so a rogue bird has muscled in...a lesser spotted bustard, do you suppose or maybe an off-course albatross?) by Inkadinkado. I offset the panel to one side of the card and stamped a sentiment by Penny Black.
My one of my favourite tunes is Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd but it's best enjoyed in a crowded pub on top of a few pints of cider, here's one more appropriate for a quiet Saturday afternoon.
Stunning spongeing, Fiona, and a fabulous scene ... love how you left space between the different layers of colour ... lights up the whole picture! Anita :)
Hola Fiona, i'm glad to see you:D Beautiful song ideal with your black birds:D. Fantasctic background!!!perfect colouring with only two colours, good work Fiona! A warm hug from Palma
Love your natural interpretation of up in the sky. Far better than aeroplanes and hot air balloons. Lol. Thanks for sharing this lovely number by Beatles. Happy crafting, Monica xxx
That's such a pretty card, and the song is a really appropriate musical accompaniment, soft and beautiful. Can't say I'm a fan of Freebird, but you're right, it's a real pub jukebox number, isn't it? You rock chick you! xxxxx
