BC: What's the Word, Bird?


Today's Blogger Challenge was to use a color combination of Riding Hood Red, Really Rust and Old Olive. I think this is a pleasing palette and I had fun with it!

To make my card, I watercolored the owl using the dye ink pads (from the three colors above) and layered it on a panel using the Polished Wrinkles technique from the October 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. Believe it or not, the polished wrinkles layer was done with the colors assigned to the challenge -- it just fades a bit with the water and with heating. It has a great shimmer to it, though!
I love the quirky saying! "What's the Word, Bird?"
