Free to Fly

It’s the first of the month so it’s time for a new challenge at Country View Challenges which is Things With Wings.

The lovely Rachel is hosting this month, so be sure to include things with wings on your projects; like birds, butterflies or even aeroplanes.

I’m sharing this holiday/vacation inspired journal page and of course the three Silhouette Birds qualify as my Things with Wings.

I started by stamping some old Travel related stamps using Black Archival Ink over the background. Then I covered the page with some Documented stamps by Tim Holtz using Moonlight White Brilliance Ink. I also used this ink pad to add the smudges of the white too. The birds were die cut from some Kraft Cardstock – Classic by Tim Holtz, using a Silhouette Thinlits Set; they were edged using a black Faber-Castell marker and stamped using one of the Documented stamps and the white Brilliance Ink. Once the birds were stuck in place, I added the “Free to Fly” wording, which was from a Thoughts Label Sticker Set by Tim Holtz. It was framed using some strips of the cardstock that I had used to create the birds. To finish, I highlighted some of the Travel lettering with a white gel pen.

For more inspiration please see the amazing creations from my fellow Design Team members over at Country View Challenges.

We are looking forward to seeing your makes and you never know, you might even win a £20 voucher for the shop, Country View Crafts! Before you enter your project though, please read the rules!

As you may be aware, we’ve had quite a stressful couple of months with one family thing after another, so my hubby decided to treat us to a mini City Break to Venice, Italy last week. Here’s a photo of the Alps from the plane as we flew over them, it was so magical (smile!).

We travelled to Venice from the airport on a boat, and as I love boats it was so much fun! I’ll be sure to share more photos soon and I’m hoping to be able to catch up with you all after my birthday next week.

Stay safe and well! x

Thanks for joining me today! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.
