Birds and flowers

The mood board at Just Add Ink shows a lot of yellow and gray and I quite like that combo so decided to be inspired by the colours. Just Add Ink #747…Inspiration! Double D is all about Spring flowers so my flower filled boots fit the bill for their challenge too.

The card front is a warm yellow from GKD and I added a crimped gray band across it. The challenge for me, is that the photo shows everything as warm colours making the boots look brown, but in reality are soft gray with yellow dots. And the grass at the bottom looks brown too but is a dark green in actuality. The stamp sets are from SSS and GKD. The little birds are from Poppystamps. Bling is from my stash and I used some pops of color on the yellow dots for more dimension. My background is a wash of blue, dabbed off a bit to try an illusion of clouds, but it didn’t work as well as I had hoped. I added some white spatter before popping up the main image. This is definitely a card that looks much better in person than online.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you and the time you spend with me.

  7. Great looking card!! Very pleasing and restful to the eyes as I like the placement of the birds on the branches with the cute garden boot on the right hand side of the card. You did do lovely clouds. Enjoy your Easter weekend.
