Artistic Outpost January Release

Artistic Outpost has three new collections  Ephemeral Backgrounds, Think & Wonder, and Songbirds. I had a lot of fun playing with the new releases and wanted to share three of the projects created with the new plates.
The Songbirds plate has beautiful birds and music elements along with a gorgeous frame. This was the very first card I created using the new plate. Love the frame!
  
This card used the SongBirds plate as well as the music background from the Ephemeral Backgrounds. They were stamped in Vintage Sepia and the frame was embossed in gold embossing powder.


The next card showcases the Ephemeral backgrounds plate with the ledger background and the postcard stamp.  The birds are from the SongBirds plate and the tree is from the Outpost. They are colored using watercolor pencils.
The last card uses the beautiful girl from the Think and Wonder plate


The image is stamped using Versafine Vintage Sepia and colored using watercolor pencils on the pattern paper. The butterflies are from the cut from the pattern paper and popped up.

Oh Wow Sue, these are all fabulous. The first one is so classic and I love that sentiment. The collaging on the second one is really lovely and I really like the colours and the third one is just beautiful. I love how you used the scalloped frame and those butterflies are so pretty. Love your colouring of the image too.

What wonderful inspiration from all three.

Hugs

Your second card was one of my favorites from the gallery ... I love how the yellow birds pop against the soft background ... and the bow in the little girl's hair is such a perfect accessory ... fabulous designs.

Gorgeous cards, as always. Love the ribbon on the first card and love the little hair detail on the third card. The pop of colour on the birds works wonderfully on the second card. All beautiful images, Tracy x
