Birds and Pearls

I had been worried that my mojo was disappearing, but I think it is because I have been feeling a bit crap with a stomach bug I cannot get rid of, though it has certainly been better today than for the last 5 or 6 days.  Anyway Crafts 4 Eternity have a sketch that I really liked, and also a theme that appealed - Use the sketch - Include a bird (s) - Include pearls.

So I have made used of a stamp that has not been inked up for a long time, and also printed some paper from the Peacock Summer Party Twin-Pack CD by Glenda Waterworth to go with the stamp.  The papers on this CD are simply beautiful with some lovely colour options, and inserts, tags, etc.

So to my peacock - I have stamped in Versafine, and coloured with ink taken from a Big 'n' Juicy pad called Waterfall, and also Derwent Inktense pencils to give a richer colour mix.  The papers are three toning papers from the CD, with cardstock from Coredinations to tone,  The flowers are long forgotten ones as well - the large petals behind the Prima satin flower are some lily ones I pulled apart in order to get the colours I wanted for the embellishment.  The punched edge is done with a Fiskars punch, the corner with EK Success, and the pearls are from stash.

I am also entering this for:

Crafts 4 Eternity - Easy Rider .....

This card is for Crafts 4 Eternity.  For Recipe 30 there is a sketch to follow, the content should depict a film, and there should be some corrugated card on it.

If this card is not 'legal' then please ignore it!  There is no stamping on it.  I have made a montage of photos as the background, and then one as the central image which I feel really depicts that film.  There are couple of bellies from the lovely Tim Holtz, and some appropriate brads.  I have used some blingy cardstock, as bling often features in some way in this business.

I spent hours debating what to do.   I then decided that as I had masses of photos of the custom motorbikes that my very talented son, Richard, builds - he runs his own business building custom bikes of the very expensive variety. He also restores classic motorbikes.  They are a perfection in engineering and absolutely beautiful, but riding a chopper is somewhat hairy, although some others are much easier.

So I chose the cult film, Easy Rider from 1969.    Some of you may remember it!!
