Autumnal Bird

Hi there. It's another windy Sunday in Melbourne, so I decided to stay indoors and make another card for the new CAS Watercolour Challenge, whilst my lovely DH makes me poached eggs for breakfast!

I began by doing a watercolour wash on a piece of Arches Watercolour paper. When it was dry I stamped the WPlus9 leaves using Memento ink, brushing the stamp with a touch of water.  Next I stamped this sweet bird from Stampendous and coloured with Gansai Tambi watercolours, the Memento ink and Zig CCRB markers. When it was dry I used the Brother ScanNcut to 'fussy cut' the bird. The branch is 2 Memory Box die cuts layered to make it a bit bigger.


I am also entering the following challenges:-

  2. What a lovely card Jenny - love the colours on the bird, and the gorgeous background. Oh what bliss to have breakfast in bed - a treat long gone for me as DH cannot see enough now to do it for me.

  3. Lovely card, Jenny! Your warm colors on the bg echoed by the orange bird is a brilliant design touch. And the black branch is the perfect break. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast. We raise chickens for their eggs, and treasure having fresh eggs for breakfast. Or lunch or dinner!
