Here is today's sketch:
and my card:
I used two digital files here: the 1" Squares Digital Collage Sheet and the Printable Faded Butterflies Journaling Cards Digital Collage Sheet. First I cut out a square of four images from the birds sheet, then I cut out the grey journaling card and mounted the bird square inside the frame of the journaling card.
The layer under the journaling card is one of my water color experiment cast-offs, and I thought the orange and yellow worked well with the birds. I mounted that onto a layer of grey card stock, then put the whole thing onto a white card base.
For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sayings from the Taylored Expressions Shade Tree Sentiments set onto a piece of Distress water color paper, then trimmed away some of the white. I like to do that around words that are only tall in a few spots because of a few long or tall letters. I think it makes the sentiment panel less bulky.
Thanks again to Stamplorations for the opportunity for the Guest DT spot. I'm so honored!
Thanks for stopping by!
