July's Colour Theme with Whimsical Birds by Fiona Randall

 

This week is colour theme week and I challenged myself once again to come out of my comfort zone and take part. Here is the colour palette for July

 

.

 

 I've used Tando's Whimisical Birds 2, a size 9 Tag and some of Tando's Grey Board sheets for my project.

 

 

I used DecoArt Americana Acrylic paints to create a masterboard with some stamping to attach to the birds body. The Tag was given a coat of DecoArt Media Tinting base and then the colours added with a brayer. The base board was then painted using a mix of the colours to get the shade I wanted and when dry doodling added with black and white posca paint pens. All other pieces of the bird kit were then painted and assembled onto the tag. I typed out my sentiment strips on my vintage typewriter added to the tag and edged and smudged with a stabilo all pencil. The tag was then attached to the doodled base to finish.

 

Here's a close up of the detail.
