This week the color combination for the Dynamic Duos challenge was Tempting Turquoise and Basic Black, with the option of adding clouds. I tossed several different ideas around in my head before finally settling on this rather quick and easy one-layer card. I didn’t want the bird to be just floating in mid-air, so I drew an overhead power line so it could perch on it. Now I can add “overhead power line” to my repertoire of things I can draw! 😛 (My long-time readers might remember that I am NOT good at drawing, so the list of things I can draw is pretty sparse!) I decided to use one of the cloud shapes for the bird’s thought balloon, and I also hand drew the little “bubbles” connecting it to the bird. I didn’t want the bird to be as bright white as the clouds, so I used vanilla cardstock for it, and I added in a tiny bit of shading around the tail and wing with a marker.
This card also fits into the OWH Virtual Card Making Party challenge called “Things with Wings”.
Thanks for stopping by today!
