Bird at sunrise
Posted: April 21, 2013 Filed under: CAS, Stamped Landscapes, Tweet Tweet 39 Comments
When I saw this week’s sketch from CAS(E) this sketch I knew it was perfect for a little scene. I created it using three stamps from one set, Tweet Tweet. It just so happens that the current Casual Fridays challenge is to create a birthday card so I’ll enter there too.
I positioned post-it notes to mask around a rectangle and punched a little circle mask for the sun. I then cut a wavy mask and positioned it to create the horizon, sponged yellow first, positioned the circle mask and sponged more yellow then orange. Next I lowered the horizon mask and sponged in green, moving the mask twice to create three hills. Before removing the perimeter masks I stamped the little berry branch stamp first in orange then slightly offset in black. Finally I removed all the masks and added the bird stamp and the sentiment.
Around here our grass is beginning to look green and there are even some flowers appearing but we did have snow and ice pellets yesterday!
Supplies:
Stamps: Tweet Tweet (PB)
Inks: Memento Dandelion, Tangelo, New Sprout, Pear Tart & Versafine Onyx Black(Tsukineko)

I’m almost there in that scene you created…. So beautiful Heather :0)
One of the prettiest sunrises I have ever seen, including IRL. This is one you should really make a video of it for us. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.
Wow! This is absolutely STUNNING! Love your card!
Ah, the Queen of Sponging has arrived! Love the beautiful colours and textures you’ve achieved with the sponging, against the dramatic black silhouettes! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS(E) This Sketch this week!
So beautiful, Heather. Love what you did with this sketch.
Love the little scene you created here. Great strength of colour 🙂
The colours are so daring and bright and work beautifully together. You certainly have an eye for colour and I appreciate the information you give us in each post to those colour combos. I like the way you have almost lost the furhest hill against the horizon and the detail in stamping the branches forst in orange then black is brilliant. It looks just like the sun bouncing off early morning dew. Great observation! Lovely overall design! We have finally got some sunshine after a long, wet and grey winter…it’s like being let out of prison! Hoorah! Thanks for the virtual sunshine too!
Apologies! Okay, ‘furthest’ has a ‘t’ in it and and ‘first’ is spelt with an ‘i’ and not a ‘o’……send chocolate……!!!
Stunning!
