WOYWW & the Same but Different Birds

 WOYWW

At last I made time to have a play and make some cards but before I started I took a photo of my work desk for WOYWW.... Eeeek! I remembered that last week that I had said that I'd try to be tidier and the week has passed so quickly that I've not been out there until today. Shame oh shame, it looks just the same until you take a closer look as I shoved some things to one side to make way for the cards I planned to make. 

On the left there is a stash of yummy pink, red, purple and orange papers, ribbons and embellishments which I sorted out ready to make a decoupatch Indian themed torso at Victoria Stampers on Saturday. Don't yet know if I'll get there as I'm waiting to see how DH is doing by then. He valiently tells me just to go but I'll make up my mind on Friday. 

There's my No 2 ATG all decorated with splodged alcohol inks.

 There are 3 mini tin pails (middle back) waiting to be altered as a future project. One of my bargains at 5 for just £1. They'll come in handy if I never use them!!! LOL! I've too many things in my stash that fall into that category.

Propped up against my Promarkers are 3 of the images I had started when I remembered to take a pic for WOYWW.
No1 stamped on printed paper No2 card sponged with Distress Inks

My mojo had given up so I decided to do something easy to break myself in and get revved up again. I turned to my stock of decorated papers, couldn't decide which to choose so I set myself a project to use lots of them and make a group of cards all the same but different, if you know what I mean. Same stamped image but different colour schemes and finishing details. The birds were singing their little hearts out in honour of this gloriously sunny day so I just had to stamp a bird image or two, or three........or more!.

No 3 using Distress Inks and Color Sprays. No4 using Conte Crayons
I stamped with Versamark and embossed in black. I then coloured in the images in various ways, some with Promarkers, some painted with Distress Reinkers. 

I painted all the birds irridescent but it doesn't show in the photos.

No 5 Glimmer Mists used. and highlight dots with a white Souffle Pen No 6 is a Brusho powder paint and Spray Starch background.

No7 Distress Inks and Perfect Pearls. No 8 Distress Inks and Glimmer mists and another dotty time with a Souffle Pen.
