Have a Beautiful Day

First time playing along with Double 'D' challenges - theme this fortnight is RicRac-ZigZag.

I have a stash of background panels made by sopping up inks on my plastic mixing palette, and thought to use this strip as it matched this little bird I had stamped and coloured early in the week. Then as it had pink on the bird an idea to slice my panel in two using my RicRacy/ZigZagy die and space them with a pink card showing through.  Then I stamped the sentiment in pink to match and inked the edge turquoise.  3D mounted my bird and sentiment.  I am also playing along at Make it Monday challenge #40 with the theme - Birds.   Thanks for taking a peek
 

Challenge # 40 Birds

Happy Birthday Fushia

This afternoon I'm trying out something different....came across this gorgeous card by Heather (tutorial video) at Make It Monday #173 where the techinique is No Outline Watercolour. - isn't it just gorgeous. So I've used a fushia shadow stamp and my Distress Inks to colour it and then mounted the panel on gorgeous homemade papers I found in my forgotten about stash. I tied some coloured twine and a mini bow above the Birthday sentiment. As I've used twine on my card I'm posting it to Seize the Birthday where the topping this month is string or twine. Thanks for taking a peek Robyn

Make It Monday #161: Watercolor Splats

Somehow today I've found some time at my desk - we had a busy morning in the garden and then I had to post my 'Fruit' photos for OBW. While making some comments I found Manuela making a card for the Make It Monday #161 Watercolor Splats challenge...this one is new to me and I was very inspired with Nicoles cards and video and it seemed like a simple technique - I'm all for trying new things. So here is my bright card for a friend... Thanks for taking a peek Robyn
