I started off with the idea of creating a gray background for my white and possibly blue die cuts. I smacked the Memento ink on a craft mat, sprinkled with black Brushos then tapped Bristol paper in the watery ink. I tried two different versions and didn't care for either background so I smacked Broken China Distress Oxide ink on the mat and spritzed it with water then tapped one of the gray backgrounds in the bright blue ink. I am happy with how it turned out. The Brusho powder adds interest to the blue background with powder speckles! Since the background is blue instead of gray, I added just white die cuts and framed the background in gray to mimic the photo.
The sentiment is from MFP which sadly has closed its doors.
We hope you will join us for the IC challenge!

I was immediately drawn in to take a look at your card--from the glorious background colors to the pristine white foreground, this is amazing art. I don't think I'd know where to begin to create such a fine work and I am so impressed!
I hope that whoever is blessed to receive this will treasure it as it should be. That's what I love about our cardmaking, that whatever we create goes to usually someone special to us, and to hand-make that card to me is something really very unique and each one gives us an opportunity to create in a new way. What you have created here is glorious!!!
Thank you for what you have taught me. Favorited and I know I will want to look at this stunning card again.

Wonderful card, Angie. Those white birds look like they will fly right off the page. Your bg really looks lovely, especially with the bold white die cuts.

Angie, I love this and the gray frame is so eye-catching. Those white birds really stand out against it and the blue. I love that little birds nestled in the tall, white grasses. Fab card, once again. Hope you've had a good week.
