Another NBUS card

I will continue to try and use my virginal crafty supplies, regardless of Darnell's fun NBUS challenges, the last of which is ending tonight.


For today's card, I smooshed the greens that were left on my acrylic block after colouring my previous card onto a panel of watercolour cardstock I had on hand. Love the way those colours turned out. I coloured one of my NBUS Crazy birds using Inktense pencils and a brush onto a different scrap. I fussy cut the bird's body and paper-pieced it onto the stamped image on my background panel. I used a scrap of dark purple Core'dinations card for my sentiment strip to ground the bird and to repeat the purple of the bird. The sentimen is from an ancient NBUS Birthday sentiments set by CC Designs. Last month, I finally cut up the sentiments from the rubber block. I added glossy accents to the eyes.

Challenges:

Less is More - #348 Watercolour


ATSM - #262 Make your mark


HLS October Watercolour challenge

    Grappig! En het lijkt wel een wereldkaart. Het geeft diepte.
    Mooie kleurencombinatie.

    (Grins) You made me smile with that fab sentiment Marianne! That is one cracker of a card with the quirky, crazy bird and the lovely smooshed background. It might be right on the edge of CAS but it is superb! Thanks for playing along with us at Less is More xx

    Smooshing is such a great technique and it created a fabulous backdrop for your crazy bird. Love the blues and greens together too against the white, very crisp and fresh. So glad you joined us at Happy Little Stampers!
