Hello Nomad friends. I am feeling the Spring. Maybe being too hopeful but where there's hope...... I've gone all green and avian with my inspiration for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity challenge where we are saying LET'S FLY!! I am already seeing birds carrying sticks and carrying on!!
I've used Lost Coast Designs MRaven1, Grunge Border 2" and Travel Quotes stamps.
I split the Grunge Border and stamped the two pieces above each other using a variety of Distress inks. Then I smeared Twisted Citron randomly to fill in some of the white spaces.
I stamped and black embossed the Raven and added some distress marker colour. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card and squiffy cut it.
'Try everything once
then try it again
Somewhere else'
More signs of spring!! This is Beardy with her chick Holly, who hatched 3 days ago. Only one, but what a proud mum!!!!!
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz
