Hi lovely peeps - hope you are having a happy week. I am just popping by with a card for this week's challenge at LESS IS MORE.
The wonderful Mandi and Chrissie have set all those Limettes out there, the challenge of using a BIRD, or BIRDS on our projects. It is also ONE LAYER week - yikes!!
*****
Recipe:-
The wording was typed on my 'puter and printed directly onto the card.
According to my Google search, the complete quote was originally
created by Mark Twain, or maybe someone by the name of William W. Purkey.
I just used the last two lines, which I thought were quite apt for this card.
****************
I then inked my brayer with Kaleidacolor Desert Heat, brayering the excess ink onto spare paper before brayering the coloured panel onto my card. This gave me the soft look I was aiming for. ( If you have never used this particular ink pad, it is quite a vibrant mix of reds, pinks and oranges).
***
I used two Crafty Individuals stamps, inked with Ranger Jet Black Archival.
The birdcage was stamped first, and masked before stamping the birdsong musical score.
I added a little of the pink ink onto the Rose petals, using a Ranger Cut'nDry pen nib.
Cardstock - SU Whisper White.
******
I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges:-
The Cheerful Stamp Pad - Birds of a Feather.
Card and Scrap - Clean and Simple.
Bloggers Challenge at Splendiferous Creations - Wing and Things.
***************
A warm welcome to my new followers - Delphine, Teresa, Marie and Terry.
Love to all ~

A beautiful piece Sylvia, your shading and inking is so delicately done, it looks as though it were printed on the cardstock although I know that's not the case.
That quote is one of my absolute favourites and on Penny Black 2695J which I use over and again, sometime the whole quote, sometimes just a line.
