Songbird

A disappointing start to a Saturday morning to see yet more snow falling here in the South East of England, its supposed to be Spring. I was sitting drinking a cup of tea and thinking the birds must still be struggling to find food and they have eaten everything I put out recently so I ventured out in the cold with some bread for them. The crumbs were intended for the small songbirds but the first to arrive was the magpie closely followed by the pigeon.

For today's project I wanted to get my entry done for the CASology challenge which for this week is "Song". Songbird is the song I chose.
Last night reading Craft Stamper magazine (page 62 March copy) I also wanted to try the faux airbrush technique and enter the Craft Stamper Take it, Make it challenge where you take the technique and make something. Here is my one layer card:

I die cut some card and used that as the stencil. Using a sponge, dab distress ink in Tumbled Glass and a bit of Faded Jeans then stamp the music using grey versafine ink. The bird and Happy Birthday are all stamped in black archival. All stamps used are Papermania, the music and bird are from Urban Stamps Bird Print and the sentiment from Mix N' Match Celebration.

Stay warm and hope you have a great Saturday.
