Ally has given us an interesting sketch this week. I took liberties, smile! First, I reversed the orientation. I used this fabulous 1 Canoe 2 scene papers. The first a gathering storm and the smaller, but beckoning pink sky with harvest ready fields. Mr Crow is heralding a life lesson...this one from Joseph Campbell.
The Crow crier is from Stamp Francisco. I extended his banner to better fit the first half of the quote. I used a golden rod vellum paper. The words were stamped with the Memento Lux 'Nautical Blue' and cut random style to beckon the reader. I love the dressed up Mr Crow. He's got a waist coat, a top hat, and a jacket with tails. His buttons are Stickled red and the suit was colored with Copics.
A couple of strips of Washi tape and embossed grass from a Tim Holtz ef divide the bottom #2 panel. Both sides of my main papers are from the 1 Canoe 2 line from American Crafts. They are sorta, kinda of my Basic Grey replacement.
The quote is:
'We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting
for us.'
Thank you for the gift of your comments!

I spotted this yesterday but wasn't up to leaving comments. First off I had to fav this...it's so creative...you have an amazing thought process when you make your designs. I love how you combined the pink paper scene with the darker one...and your Mr Crow (who is also in my stamp collection) combines to make such an interesting interpretation of the sketch. That quote is one we all my accept at some point in our lives. Fab card My friend.
