#the100dayproject : 85/100
Posted by Kerry Wills on
today's card was inspired by yesterday's card in the sense that i decided to utilize scrap pieces of paper from my stash. i also wanted to use a newer sentiment from the pretty pink posh set and as an added challenge to myself, i selected patterned papers that were all in the same color family. a few of them have other minor color details, but for the most part it's a monochromatic card.

he is just my favorite. i don't know why exactly, but i just love his little expression. i stamped and die-cut the bird before coloring him with prismacolor markers. i haven't seen a bird in these bright shades of yellows and oranges, but i would like to think that somewhere he exists. he is also layered on the cloud background with foam tape for added dimension [hence the little shadow below him.]

so i've had this idea in my mind for quite some time and tonight, despite it being super late when i got home from work, i decided to try it.
i am so happy that i did because i absolutely love it. i ended up making two cards in the same style for two friends & i cannot wait to hand deliver them! i'm also sharing a bunch of photos because i'm just so happy with the results!

i'm so excited that i've been able to keep up with this project - in the beginning i really did have my doubts about being able to do it. if you want to see a fun little video that i made highlighting the cards from the last 30 days, you can check it out here. unfortunately i couldn't figure out a way to include it here. i do plan on either updating it as the project continues or making additional episodes.

side note - i was having a rough day the other day about wondering if making cards even makes a difference and was a little bummed about not being able to participate in so many shows this summer, which is something that i both enjoy doing and makes me a good amount of money. my good old bestie was right there to point out that my cards have the ability to make someone smile and make someone's day a little bit brighter. that helped to change my perspective quite a bit and so i channeled her while adding my favorite detail on this card:
