BIRD SONG

Hope you've enjoyed a good weekend.  We're winding down here with a stop at one more graduation party to go.  School's done for the kids and that means I don't have to get up at 5.30am tomorrow - that's a wonderful thing!  Even the cicadas are winding down.  I got landed on only once today!

Things have been really hectic for the last two weeks, with all the end-of-school activities, so I was unable to get my usual publication submissions done in time. However, I did get published in the June edition of Vamp Stamp News.  This month the article covers different techniques using pigment powders.  I had forgotten how to use these, as it's been such a while since I've played with them.  Anyway, I'd like to share one that I made, using the new Sparkle N Sprinkle set Bird Song:


I love the look that is achieved using the Perfect Pearls on the dark cardstock - and the way it shimmers as you turn it and the light hits.  I stamped the small feathers in Versamark and added Interference Perfect Pearls in Green, Violet, Red and Blue to make the background and then applied all four colors on the big feathers.  

Well that's my quick share for today.

'Till next time,

Shona

  5. Wonderful card. Love you design and the colors you chose. I forget to use my Perfect Pearls and this makes me want to pull them back out. Congrats on getting it published.

  9. How ironic! I have been dreaming about making a feather card using 3 black panels covered with black EP, and then stamp that feather image into each of the panels and "color" with perfect pearls! Too funny! Your card is beautiful. I don't think mine will look that good. Also, we have both been working on cards with HEARTS this week! We are definitely on the same wave length - my heart is the same color - white and that pretty blue - too coincidental! I love that sentiment with your feathers, Shona. It is beautiful! Wonder if I'll still do the feather card LOL

  11. This is a beautiful creation. I haven't used this product for awhile and you have given me the itch. Will have to wait til I get back to Florida where all my supplies are waiting. Thanks for reminding me.
