2024 Birthday 31 . . .

 I have a female birthday card to share today . . .


 

I wish to enter these challenges . . .

Allsorts Challenge #772 Feathers or Fur or Anything Goes (2/3)  

Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #15 Anything Floral Goes optional Moodboard (1/6)


Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge A Bit of Green (3/5) 
Time Out Challenge #259 Birds of a Feather (1/5)


Triple B Challenge Moodboard (2/3)




I am in the mood to decoupage, apparently lol!  I stamped the image with Versafine Clair twice onto watercolour card.  I watercoloured one complete image.  On the second image I layered watercolour to colour the bird, the flowers and the leaves that were to be cut out and decoupaged.

I dug into my Clarity Crafts designer Parchment to use as my background.   I die cut the John Next Door flower dies from Sizzix Textured card and layered them up.  I used Tonic Studios Nuvo Dream Drops to colour the black marks on the stamped image as well as to embellish.

The bird on this image is based on a European Honey Bee which I looked up before colouring it because I wanted to make it true to the inspiration.  It is a really beautiful and colourful bird which is sadly not found in the UK.  Back soon x
