To be honest, I was a bit worried with this one--AND I picked the theme! How does that happen? Anyways, I just wasn't feeling very "birdy" this week and was having a hard time getting a layout that I liked. Slowly, but surely, this one turned out much better than expected, and I actually like its simplicity!
First, I colored the bird image with my Prismacolor Pencils. I matted it with light blue cardstock and then again with dark blue cardstock. I used Post-It notes to block off the white area around the image, and then used blue ink & my sponge daubers to create the airbrushed look around the image. Once I removed the Post-it notes, I was in awe as the blue ink sort of resembled the sky--perfect for this bird in a tree image!I created the card base from light blue cardstock, measuring for an A2 size envelope (4.25" x 5.5"). I used my Score-Pal to add score lines over the upper portion of my card. I matted the patterned paper with dark blue cardstock and added a dark blue brad to each lower corner. I then, adhered the entire piece to the lower portion of the card front. I threaded ribbon through the holes in the image, and I attached the ribbon on the left side of the image with a dark blue brad, and I tied the right side in a knot and adhered it to the base.
To finalize the card, I stamped "Thank You" just below the image.

- Paper: Bazzill Cardstock, Patterned Paper DCVW Scrapbook in a Stack
