For the inspiration challenge today we were inspired by the Tim Holtz Inspiration Pinterest boards. I picked this tag, only because of the bird, and I changed just about everything else.
I have not used this image before, but was inspired to use it today. I have a Cockatiel named CC who is a giggle a minute and as I made this card she was climbing all over me.
I inked my stencil and spritzed with water for the stencil monoprint technique, but only used the one colour and did not use a lot of water as I was using Neenah cardstock. Once dry, I die cut with the stitched rectangles and sponged on some wild honey. I stamped "CC" using the silver stone ink on watercolour paper and painted her face colours as she is IRL, and added some deeper greys as she is. The branch is die cut using watercolour paper and painted with the walnut stain ink. I stamped the sentiment on my music panel and attached it to my card base on foam strips. I then styled my bird and attached it to the branch then added foam dots to attach to the panel and added some Nuvo Jewel Drops.
Thanks for having a look. aplaceforkia

Reminds me of birds my parents had - they were always soooo fun. I know CC is super fun too and that is who I thought of the minute I saw this, Kia. Super pretty and super fun card! Love the techniques and your fun bird image. Hugz
