Bon Voyage

Flying used to be exciting for me.

After numerous moves...

and 5 hours of a rough flight through snow storms this past year...

...flying has lost its novelty.

I just want to get there.

Of course, there could be worse ways to travel.

How cute are these birds' expressions?

 

It took me numerous tries to get this scene.

I stamped the birds in Memento ink first (Copics bleed with my Staz on),

and then I colored them.

I found that stamping the cage with Staz On looked richer than stamping with Memento...maybe because the ink is sitting on Copic coloring.

Weird, huh? 

My first few tries, I stamped the cage FIRST with Versamark (it left an almost invisible impression)..so I knew where to place the birds.

However, practice DOES make perfect, because by the oh, sixth or seventh time of doing this scene..I didn't need the imprint. 

I knew where to place the birds by heart.

Hrmph.

Thanks for stopping by today, it warms my heart. ;)
