Ode to a goldfinch


Today I'm once again joining Neet (whose blog is Hickydorums) at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is It must have wings.

 

I call this Ode to a goldfinch.  It was a difficult journal page to create, but incredibly simple.  Because of that, I'm also sharing it with Try it on Tuesday, whose theme this fortnight is Keep it Simple.  The background is 110 lb cardstock, cut to 5 X 8 inches (12.7 X 20.32 centimeters).  The yellow and pink colors were cut to 4 X 5 inches (10.16 X 12.7 centimeters).  The goldfinch was from my stash. The sentiment was computer generated.
 
Thanks for dropping by today. Bleubeard and I are thrilled you stopped by and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey and Try it on Tuesday.

A beautiful page and goldfinch Elizabeth. I am so happy to see you linked this with us at TioT's. Sorry I've not been able to call in recently, I have had many blog issues that I needed help sorting. Fingers crossed for now.

I have so many goldfinches at my feeders lately.Sometimes as many as 12 at a time. Those background papers match your goldfinch image nicely. And thanks for joining TIOT also. It's much appreciated. Have a great day hugs-Erika
