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.
