Bird is the Word

This month our host at Art Journal Journey is Rike of Rike's Art.  Rike wants us to use yellow in our art.  I got a little carried away on the yellow today, I fear.  Unfortunately, the two yellows weren't exactly compatible after I photographed them  (Note to self: always check coordinating colors under a full spectrum light).

I call this Bird is the Word.

Unfortunately, this bird didn't like being photographed up close and personal.

Because these butterflies were embossed using VersaMark on a rubber stamp and two embossing powders were used, I am also sharing them at Try it on Tuesday, where their theme is Powder Your * * *.

This bird didn't mind being photographed.  Yes, I keep all postage stamps, no matter how old.

For this page, I began by laying down lines of black water soluble crayon on 110 lb substrate.  I didn't add water because I knew the glue stick I was planning to use to adhere the yellow napkin would provide sufficient wetness to spread the marks.  Using glue dots, I then attached the focal bird, which had been a blank card in a previous life.  Finally, I added the two butterflies that were not used on a previous project and the bird stamp and black circle die cut.

Thank you beyond belief for your visit today.  I am so grateful you stopped by.  I also hope you will join us this month at Art Journal Journey with your yellow inspired art and Try it on Tuesday, where I am the guest designer of their theme Powder Your * * *.   I hope to see you at both challenges.
