A Little Bird ............




Here is another Clean & Simple card with an Autumn theme.  I started with a 4 x 4 inch white card blank.






I then stamped a rubber stamp of a tree with leaves and a little bird onto the card in Memento tuxedo black ink.  I used Marvey Alcohol brush pens to colour certain of the leaves in oranges and browns.






Finishing touch was to edge a sentiment plate with orange ink and mount bottom right on foam pads.

I would like to enter this into the 'Less is More' challenge for week 142.

No. 50 Feet In The Grass




Another weekly entry into my mini easel PhotoBook.  This week it's entitled 'Feet In The Grass'.  The other week I was walking in Sackville Park in Manchester and had my phone with me so I took this quick photo of my feet in the grass.

Actually there wasn't much grass at all and as can be seen, it was mostly weeds and dandelions ...... really needs some gardening TLC I think.  The trainers on my feet are by PRADA and they are honestly the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned and because of this they are rapidly becoming worn out.

Thought it best just to show my feet complete with shoes as I don't think my bare feet are very elegant !






Anyways, I have used 6 x 6 inch printed papers as the background and mats.  The photo (printed on the Pogo) was stuck onto a diecut doiley which had first been cut into useable bits before being stuck in place as shown.  I have also placed a sticker tag at the top left.






The 'Garden Of Dreams' was stamped with a PaperArtsy stamp in Vesafine onyx black ink and the other letters are also alpha stickers.  I stamped the number 50 too.  Other stickers were used and a flower was stamped also in the same ink a couple of times.






Finishing touches were to freehand draw a couple of edging wavy lines with a black Micron pen.
