Yesterday I had fun watching the blue-tits devouring the fat balls on my balcony. A couple of sparrows joined in, but they all got their turn. Then a big, black crow arrived and started feeding. The little birds were all in the tree, really getting their knickers in a twist about the big intruder, who looked like he was going to eat everything. Then the blue-tits all flew at him together, and he flattered off, croaking loudly his lament, and the littl'uns were once again the kings of the castle and able to enjoy *their* food.
Today I just have one tag to share. I spent a lot of time painting yesterday, but it's not finished yet. I have made a tag with a sponged ink background for the Unruly Paper Arts RAQ 1. I used my birch tree mask, and sponged gradient colours of DI through the trees. The word *Treasure* has been used as focal image over the trees, and I added some prima flowers and ribbon in complementary colours. I am also linking to Simon Says Stamp and Show, where this week a TH technique must be used.
Okay, that's all for today. Have a good Sunday, whatever the weather, take care, and thanks for visiting!
Hi Val, glad you slept a bit longer. My kids even let me sleep a few minutes longer today, too! Love your tag! Have a nice day! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteMorning Valerie, that's a great tree mask and I love the variegated colours. Woke up to a light covering of snow this morning but it's disappearing already. Keep cozy. Suze xx
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, isn't it lovely to be able to lie in from time to time. This is a fabulous tag, the background stenciling and colours are amazing x
ReplyDeleteHi Val
ReplyDeleteLove your tag. I do all I can to encourage the birdies into our garden, and laid on a feast, and spent a fortune on birdie bits, but not a bite! Little blighters!!! I think they must be extra fussy birds, lol! Hope the sun shines for you soon. I'm off to the Zoo in a hour, and the sky is looking somewhat dogdy, hope the rain holds off, and the sun shines for both of us.

I'm glad the little blue tits won that battle, although I suspect the crow will be back and maybe he'll bring his friends with him!
