*F4A239 MIX86 QFTD228 Little Sparrow

Photo Details

Poster: hobbydujour

My card is a combination of today's three challenges:

F4A = have a bird(s) on the card

MIX = create a "marble" bg. Biggan's instructions are HERE.

QFTD = Julie Gearinger. I chose this CARD of Julie's for inspiration. My main panel is one layer.

Congratulations, Julie. Enjoy your week in the spotlight.

Wow Sallie! This should be in an art gallery. Looks like it came from an old master's painting! Your naturalistic colouring is so accomplished. The crumbling really adds the look of an old oil painting. This is a marvellous work. TFS
