Birds on my wall

{congrats! you found the code: welldone45}



When a creative idea hits you, just go with it. Don't stop to think about it, don't wonder if you can do it, don't think "what if it looks terrible", Just do it.
This is how I am when I create. I can be inspired by a word, a photo, a phrase, a quote, a sound...and an idea will wash over me and in that moment I can already see the final result before it's even created.
And it's these moments that normally bring me the best results.

So when I had an idea this weekend for my blocks...I just went with it. Inspired by birds as always*I love birds* and remembering beautiful spring days that hubby and I shared in March while in Paris...I created these 6 watercolors to go onto the blocks that are on my wall.


(the photos were taken a bit skew, but on the wall they are straight!)












*I had forgotten to mention when I asked for suggestions that the blocks are not removable*

So I cut out 6 of my favorite birds from vintage images supplied by Karen of the Graphics Fairy.
Firstly, I prepared my card, by painting each in a background watercolor and setting them aside to dry. Then pasted on my cut out birds and did the watercolors around them. I wanted something fresh, inspired of nature and spring. I did some stamping too.

I finished them all and hung them up over the blocks and left a slight "border" of the block on each one to make it look like they are framed.

I think me likes...
