This is for the F4A339 to use the ombre technique, and the MIX186 to use illegible words. The yellow bg is the ombre technique and there is writing behind the birds on the main panel. My writing is always illegible, so that part was easy. I stenciled the leaves with green ink then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. I sprayed and blotted dylusion spreys stopping just before wearing a hole in the paper. After stamping the birds I used yellow Gelato to smudge around them so they stood out a little more. I had just found the last splatter of ink from my previous mixed media project when I got inspired to make this card....it amazes me that there are still splatters of ink in other parts of the house for days after completing a mixed media card. TFL, Francie

Just love all your signature bright splashes of colour and the cute pink birds. To me the card says "Spring" - which I hope is just around the corner here.
