The Birds Have Flown

Hello.  Welcome.  And a great big Hello to October!!!   All is fresh and new as my favourite spooky month begins.  Stay tuned for stuff.  Kicking of the fun with a new colour challenge at Rubber Dance with this quirky little card


I actually wrote a little verse that inspired this, but haven't quite worked out how to ascetically incorporate it.  I started with a grey card base, die cut with a stitched rectangle die.  I smeared Hickory Smoke distress in the middle and stamped the birds from Rubber Dance A Little Birdie set in blue dye ink.  I smeared versamark around two edges and embossed with dark blue embossing powder.  I cut an ATC from light grey card using a sizzix die, stamped Rubber Dance Vintage Aviary in blue and edged with fired brick chalk ink.  I added a layer of blue card under the ATC to make it pop a bit more.  I stamped the word dream from Rubber Dance Affirmations set, embossed with blue powder, coloured the letters red and fussy cut.  


Do hop over to the blog for more inspiration from the team and to link up your creation.  Don't forget if you are shopping at Rubber Dance you can get free worldwide shipping with the code GTFreeShip on any order over €15.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    I love how you have used the colours so boldly. The ATC Really does pop with the blue card that you added, which looks brilliant on the grey background. Totally gorgeous!
