Songs

 

This is "Songs".

I was gifted these dies and straight away sat down to make a card. You all know me, anything having to do with birds is my "thing".

As I had watercolour paper on my desk so I decided I would water colour the birds, which I did using different colours for each bird.

My water colours for these birds are a mix of Daniel Smith along with Schmincke water colours. I used Daniel Smith Ultramarine Violet, Opera Pink, Rhodonite Genuine, Spring Green, Sap Green. Cerulan Blue, Manganese Blue, Cadmium Yellow, Quinacridone Red and Pyrrol Scarlet.

Once I had the birds painted I set them aside to dry and using another piece of water colour paper I added splatters using all the colours that I had used for the birds.

I painted the wire using Payne's Grey doing the front and back as it was easier rather than worrying I did not cover it all.

Once I finished with the painting and once all was dry I attached the splattered water colour piece to a Black Onyx card base. 

I then added black mini rhinestones to the birds eyes, which added even more dimension. The beaks are also painted using the Payne's Grey.

I finished with stamping the sentiment on the inside of the card using VersaFine Clair ink in Nocturne. As you can imagine I enjoyed myself doing this card, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Thank you for dropping by.

See you next time.
