I started by painting gesso over the page and then I stamped the image [After Midnight] to position him, I then stencilled modelling past around the image.
I coloured the page with distress paints, and stamped and embossed the image
Finally I added some die cut leaves and flowers and added the quote.
For my birthday a couple of months ago I got a new camera with a decent zoom on it. I use to take photos of birds and they'd just be a little speck on the photo, now I can get up close.
This parakeet is enjoying an apple in my neighbours apple tree.
These parakeets are enjoying the coconuts that are hanging on my patio. I took these photos through my kitchen window, I was very pleased how they turned out as my windows need a clean.
What an AMAZING card project Hazel! AWESOME! Love it and love the photos of this parakeets! Thank you for sharing both with us at Moo Mania & More Challenges!

Fabulous project. If I remember rightly, when I was in the KCUK group, he was much talked about LOL. The texture you created brings such depth, as though he is really standing in a garden.
ReplyDeleteParakeets, how amazing. Wonderful photographs. I imagine it would be too cold up here for them!
