A Little Love for Dawn

*Compensated affiliate links used where possible at zero cost to you. No posts are ever sponsored or paid.*

A few of the MISTI peeps and I decided to get together today and share a little love for my friend Dawn from WPlus9. This lovely lady is officially on my zombie apocalypse team, in addition to being a lovely and talented artist. 

So I have a social distancing card and quick video of the background for my little blue bird today. 

I'd love it if you had a little crafty budget left this month if you spent it with Dawn - her small business is one I care about deeply!

I created the background using this technique and Hero Hues water reactive ink. Then I outlined the stencilled portion with a white paint pen. I cut the bird pieces out of watercolor paper and then painted them with Daniel Smith watercolor, and glued them all together. The way this die is engineered is really cool. I cut through the card front with this miss you die and then perched the birdie on top of the negative space letters. Who doesn't miss everybody right now? LOL.
