A black bird...on blue

 Hi everyone, I can't be the only one who wants to see blue skies and a little bit of sun, these grey skies do nothing for my mojo - I've been looking through my old journals for ideas.

This page was already half done as it was intended for a previous challenge that I missed.

I had even started to put some bird washi tape on but just couldn't think how to add the beautiful Carabelle Studios bird by Birgit Koopsen.

After looking through my journal I used two ideas, the inside of an envelope and a frame with scribble writing on. It says 'it's a bird, all the way round the frame, which is a little bigger than I intended.

This will be my last entry at Art Journal Journal for Alison's 'Come Fly With Me, theme and I must say I have so enjoyed this theme, so thank you Alison for hosting this month. I wasn't here for the first part of the month but I have loved using some of my many bird and butterfly stamps for a few of the pages I made. Thank you too for your kind comments. 

Thanks for looking, Chris

    I am glad to see others start things for one challenge and then put them in the next challenge too! I have done that several times myself. Love the bird, all the blue and that cool framing!!! Hugz

    I swear I left a comment on this entry. I can't be THAT dense. Or maybe I can. My sincere apologies if I failed to comment on this wonderful entry that you created for Alison's theme at AJJ.
