New Funkie Junkie Challenge – Music of Life

Hello Funkie Junkie fans! It's time for a new challenge. Our hostess is Laura Gilhuly and the theme is "The Music of Life". This definitely gives you lots of directions to go in so create a music themed project and share it with us for a chance to win. 

I have been enjoying having my windows open to the fresh spring air and hearing all the birdsong as well. I decided to create a card celebrating our vocal feathered friends.

For the background, I started off with an old sheet of music and lightly brayered on acrylic paint. I used Collage Medium to adhere it to a sheet of heavy cardstock and then die cut the sentiment in the corner using the Bold Text #1 Die Set.

The birds are all cut out of a gel print from my stash. (It is so helpful to have a "backgrounds" stash!) After I glued them onto the background, I used the Stabilo Aquarellable pencils to shade around them a bit. Then added some stamped texture over everything with stamps from the Tiny Toadstools stamp set and it was done! Now I just have to decide who to send it to. ;-)

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you check out the fun challenges we have on the Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog. They are always good for sparking your creativity! You have two weeks to join the current challenge so I hope you give it a go.
