CC1091 - Flourish Bird
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: bejoyce

 Linda is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given us some beautiful colors to work with: Azure Afternoon, Crushed Curry, and Blueberry Bushel. The dessert option is to add a fourth color.

I made a valiant attempt to watercolor this pretty bird. Let's just say I have a lot to learn! I was attempting to get a color similar to Azure Afternoon, but my result has too much green in it. I like it OK, but it's not the color I was trying to achieve. You'd have to call my technique loose--very loose. My fourth color, the wreath, was intended to be a combination of Old Olive and Granny Apple Green. It's--something else! At least I did get in the three challenge colors with cardstock!

After assembling the layers, I added a few clear Drip Drops and my little tag. With all the whining above, I kinda like the card!

Please join us in the Gallery this week!

Oh how striking with your watercolors. I like how you used the bg with the blue. My favorite is your sweet bird. Isn't it fun to mix colors. You are a natural with the watercolors. TFS

Well, I have to say that I like the card as well. Your little bird is so cute as well and the loose water coloring turned out ok.

I like your pretty bird. Die cut decorative circles make such a pretty card base.

You did a great job with the watercoloring. I love the look of your background and your bird is adorable. I like it too.

Aw...this is "tweet" as can be, Barbara! I really like how your bird turned out, and how fun that she has some greenery and a pretty flower too. The overall design is so pretty~
