Sitting pretty, its not a day to fly.


What do you do when its blowing a gale outside,   and its really cold.....answer.....
go into the craft room and have a play.
My little bird is also hoping for better weather.
  I had to smile at a few of the brave birds landing in the garden this morning. Usually they look quite graceful as they swoop down and land, today  I think a few had quite a wobble and  chose to stay around longer than usual before they flew away.



On the left is how it all began. Splashes of paint,  some random stamping as well.  The flowers stamped direct on to the page but the  bird and leaf  were   fussy cut , then  water coloured. These images  are all Carabelle stamps.
 I added more shading with distress oxide inks.
  The stamped border  [AALL&creaet images]  isn't neatly coloured, but I quite liked the effect.
Last of all the  Springtime word was computer generated.

I will be joining  Jo's ...Hello Springtime..... theme at 


Thank you for calling in to see me today, you are always very welcome here.

  6. Beautiful page! The little bird is so sweet sitting under those pretty flowers ๐Ÿ˜. I think you have the right idea crafting, I've been doing the same thing as the weather has been wild and windy here although we have bright sunshine at the moment too. Thanks so much for joining us at Art Journal Journey and enjoy the rest of your week! J ๐Ÿ˜Š x

  8. What a wonderful bird, Yvonne - I think the poor mites would have to be very brave to fly far in our current stormy weather - it's FREEZING and so windy!!! Love your 'not neatly coloured' borders - random colour always looks good. Fab page :-)

  10. A very beautiful page Yvonne. We had one very sad looking blackbird in our garden this morning and it just stayed in the one place instead of doing the usual hops.

    It is bin day here today and some people put their buns out and they blew over so the road is full of rubbish. The bin wagon never comes before 11am so why people put them out the night before I can't imagine

    Have a great day

    Love Chrissie xx
