I am cheating a little today. I made this awhile back and itÂ’s not a card but a journal I made out of junk mail. You know those rather large postcards you get in the mail, well I have been saving them. I fold them in half and after I have a few I make them into a signature which I bind together making a journal. Then I gesso the pages and try my hand at mixed media techniques on the pages. Plus I donÂ’t worry if I mess up because itÂ’s junk mail. hehe
On this one I wanted the cover to look nice so after adding several layers of paint, I drew on the scene adding more paint and doodles and wal-la. Done. So glad it was a bird which flies and qualifies this for todayÂ’s F4A challenge.
Feels good to be posting something, just hope the challenge police donÂ’t come after me. I have been missing for awhile thanks to being busy with work and grandsons. Plus I have been doing a fare amount of mixed media stuff. Always creating something. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Sis! :0)

What a fun bird you drew. This is a fabulous mixed media creation. The shading around the flower, as well as your color choices look greatl. I love your little hearts and circles along the top.

It is so good to see you (well your creation)!!! Love the bold designs and the way you can combine colors!!! The speckles that finish it off add great depth!!! Gorgeous!!!!
