Learning to Fly

 

Hello friends and visitors! I hope you enjoyed a lovely Easter! He is Risen! I took a little 'me' time this afternoon and made a spring card to share. I used lots of Tim Holtz products including Sizzix Thinlits: Funky Nature, Funky Wreaths and Feathered Friends and Intertwined 3D Embossing folder.

After loading up the embossed background with a ton of products--Distress Crazing, crayon, ink, and paint  Prima Wax, to accentuate that wonderful deep texture, I tore it in two diagonally, layered the torn pieces and rolled back one edge to show the Wallflower background. 

Nothing says spring like bluebirds nesting. We have so many bluebirds here, and their babies have hatched and will soon be learning to fly.

I cut the bird from watercolor paper and painted it with Distress inks: Salty Ocean, Rusty Hinge and Walnut Stain. I used a micron pen for the eye.

There's lots of product on that feather, too, including various paints, inks and crayons.

Learning to Fly is a Clippings Sticker, edged in Ground Espresso ink and mounted on chip board.

The wreaths are dipped in watery Antique Linen ink and the egg--Salty Ocean. And there's one of the 'woody' ones, too, cut from an inky scrap and tucked in to make a little nest. That's all for me today; I do hope you have enjoyed your Easter weekend and will have a crafty week! Sara Emily
