I got a late start on this as we had a big storm overnight and my power was off from 4am-11am (don't worry I did not open my fridge!). I was really wanting to see what the MIX challenge was for today but I had to wait...As it turned out..it was a really fun one!! I used TH Distress stains for my bg, then applied thinned white acrylic paint. I added some more and then I used a stencil and sprayed some of Mister Huey's color mist on top (yes Sallie, Mister Huey and I are now acquainted ;) ). I also added more stain on top of some dry wall tape. I then added some doodling around the edges of the photo stamped image. Thanks for the video Ky...awesome challenge!

Polly, I love your title along with your "birds of a feather" sentiment. They are a pretty scroungy looking punch. Thanks for a chuckle and a giggle before I pop off to bed. : )

Polly, your bg looks wonderful in these fabulous colours and the doodling around your image is awesome - I am never brave enough to doodle, such as you have, but you have inspired me to have a go!!

I agree, these MIX challenges are always so FUN! LOVE your wonderful yellow/blue/green background! The feather is an awesome trimming and goes so perfectly with your sentiment!

Oh how FUN! I hate that your power was off, but sounds like you managed just fine. I love the gorgeous, rich colors, and that feather with the little jute tie is perfect! Great job with the doodling, too. I need to do more of that. Thanks so much for playing along with my challenge. I'm so glad you liked it!

Another fabulously quirky card from you, Polly! Wonderful BG, and the hand drawn doodling around the focal image is SO great! You always inspire me and surprise me!
