Jail Birds!

Our Michael's just recently did a great overhaul of their stamps section, and I just couldn't resist grabbing these great jail birds! I thought they'd be the perfect image for one of Leigh O'Brien's Freaky Friday challenges. This week the challenge is to create a card using dark orange, purple, and olive with accents of black, white, or grey. You know, cards sometimes can take on a life of their own! Sometimes they're difficult, and other times they just seem to almost jump together all by themselves! THIS was a really FUN card to make. I used SC196 again because it is a great sketch to show off designer papers with a long narrow horizontal image. I am very pleased with how this card turned out. Can you tell that I just LOVE to watercolor?!

Notes:
Stamps: Inkadinkado
Paper: SU! Old Olive, Whisper White, Really Rust, unknown purple, WalMart patterned paper slab, watercolor paper
Inks: Black Stazon, SU! Basic Gray
Accessories: Markers, aquapainter, sponges, ribbon, Queen and Company brads/photo turn

I need several cards for this week, and although I have a stash I could pull from, sometimes it is just nicer to make a card for a particular person on a special occasion, so it is back to the stamp room for me! Hope you're having a great weekend! Come back soon!
