MIX4 Birds

Photo Details

Poster: Brat Cards

I stippled various pink and caramel inks on this circle, sprayed it with water, and dropped black watercolor flakes I cut from my black watercolor pencil onto the wet paper and then resprayed. While the paper was still wet, I stamped the tree.

I decided to make my scene in a circle for the TLC418 with circles this week.

Adding flecks with your pencil shavings is a novel idea. Love the way you composed your scene with the birds and wire.

I always forget to do that with the pencil flakes! That is such a cool look. Love your round focal panel. Thanks so much for playing along!!

Very cool technique, I always hate seeing the shaving of the pencil go in the garbage and this is a great to put them to use, thanks for sharing! Mighty cute scene you created!

Love what you did with the tiny bird dies - birds on a wire is a a favorite theme of mine! Also like the bare tree branches below, it gives us a view from the bird's perspective. Great card! TFS
