I made an art journal page this week, using only yellow and orange shades and featuring two feathered friends chatting to each other. Now and then, I enjoy making a project which is almost completely yellow and it is such a sunny and hopefully color.

Smear Distress Inks on a non-stick craft sheet and press one of the cotton rag watercolor pages from Dina Wakley's Media Journal into the ink. By mistake, but journal closed so both pages got accidentally inked.

When dry, apply Distress Oxide inks through the Simon Says Stamp Tumbling Leaves stencil.

Assemble the birds and add some mica flakes, which had been colored with alcohol ink, to create something for the birds to stand on.

Die cut Circle Loops from Warm Kraft Stock Cardstock and stamp sentiments inside and outside the circles. The sentiments come from Simon Says Stamp Forest Scenery.

I messed up the stamping of this work and re-stamped it on inky yellow paper, cut into a strip and covered up the bad stamping.
