Put A Bird On It!

Ok own up.. who stole my week.
Was it you? I just don't know where it went.
But i'm back now with a double helping of arty goodness.
Firstly i'd like to share my offering for this weeks Pan Pastel Challenge
They have an 'animal' theme but not really having any animal stash
I opted to 'put a bird on it' {click for funny anecdote}

 I covered the page with text then brushed over with permanent red & hansa yellow pan pastel.
I then stamped the border and small leaf vine in black, I masked the leaves and then stamped the larger leaf vine with phthalo green pan pastel so it gave a lovely muted effect, then coloured in the leaves with the same colour.

 I did a bit of posca pen work on the leaves and border.

 To finish I die cut the bird and cage in acetate, gave them a light sand and coloured with pan pastel, to really make the colour pop on the bird a stuck some text behind it. Then all that was left was to find a quote I liked which I punched out using my dymo label maker.
The reason i've used a ton of PP's on the project isn't just coz of the challenge, but coz i've been doing an Uber Media online workshop with the fab Nathalie. So i'm putting into practice all the things i'm learning.
Right if your still with me, I said there were 2 pieces of arty goodness and the second can be found HERE as it's the start of my week for the Snazzy's DT
Here's a sneak peek to try and coax you over for a better view x

Thanks for the visit
