Light and Airy Card Swap

This is the card I mailed to Far North for the Light and Airy Card Swap
Light and Airy products used : transparent watercolor, craft feather, feather die cut, wink of Stella shimmer

I used Koi watercolors for the sky background using the technique demonstrated in the first lesson of Strathmore Artist Workshops Mind of Watercolor. It was applied wet on wet using ultramarine blue with touches of prussion blue and payne's gray.

Stamps : SU feather and feather die, Memory Box bird
Paper : 140 lb watercolor mounted on 100 lb Hammermill cover stock card base
Ink : Archival watering can (bird), Versamagic pink grapefruit and persimmon on feather
Sequins : Doodlebug

Thanks for setting up this fun swap, Far North!

Wow this is a dreamy light and airy sky...terrific watercolor. I love the feel of movement with the wisps of the craft feather down behind your die cut feather along with the sequins that te accentuates the light and airy. I can imagine the small bird flying miles above in the distance blue. Awesome card...thank you Cindi for making my mail day special Very Happy

Your sky is so beautiful! I love the streaky look for the sky, and the feather is also so light and airy! Very nice!
