Hi! This card was made for todayÂ’s Limited Supply Challenge: use the colors of a room in your house with limited layers and embellishments. It also works for todayÂ’s StampinÂ’ BÂ’s Challenge: Sandhill Cranes.
This past weekend, while on our way to visit Clownmom in Mt. Dora, FL, Mark, Markie and I saw a pair of Sandhill Cranes on the side of the road near a retention pond. The animals were BEAUTIFUL as well as HUGE! They were bigger than Markie. IÂ’m totally serious! I kept thinking, I love the colors of these birds.
I went home and noticed that my LIVING ROOM is the colors of Sandhill Cranes, plus WHITE! (Deep Red, Lighter Red, brown/gray, Dark Gray.) Totally made sense that I loved the big birds!
I used 2 Sizzix die cuts that were cut out of mat board and sent to me by NANCYRUTH. They started out white. I wanted to use the die cut in a “different” way, so I made a sunset scene. I used a ½” circle punch out as a mask for the sun, and used my Copic Airbrush to color the bird. (Top to bottom of bird: R29, R27, W5, C5.) The vine and birds were stamped in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink. There are 3 layers of card stock plus the sentiment treatment and the die cuts.
