This card came about in an indirect way. I wanted to use my new Stamplorations bird stencil and the colors in the Time Out Challenge. So I sponged the bird as shown, masked it and then sponged the bg with another stencil. I wasn't satisfied, so fussy cut the stenciled bird and created this card which I liked much better:
Card Front: watercolor bg from my stash adhered to card front (hand cut to not show through die, white oval die cut popped up with dimensionals
Bird: sponged through bird portion of stencil, stamped with grunge stamps, splattered, then sponged branches brown, sponged the edges of the bird with black, fussy cut, adhered to die cut oval
Sentiment: embossed on black, adhered to white oval frame, (dimensionals when needed)
Now this is a beauty! I love the colour blends behind the frame...what a beautiful frame and elegant frame! And then the deeper colours you have used on the bird with a kind of grungy look to it-which looks fab with against the pretty colours behind. I can see why you were happy with this-a real beauty and so pleased you shared with Time Out xx

Maura, this is such a beautiful bird and so colorful. I love the music you stamped on him. That is a song he can sing. Love the frame and the wonderful sponging behind it.
