Quick Quotes November Challenge "Things with Wings"

Hello Quick Quotes Readers!  Alicia here today with November's Challenge:  Things with Wings! When I thought of this challenge, I thought it is November, ya know, turkeys....well, when it came down to making a turkey it just didn't fly!  My creative mojo took a different directions especially after I tried a new tool.  I purchased a Tim Holtz water brush (detailed tip) a while ago with a coupon from Michael's.  I put it with my other blending implements and had never really tried it.  When I finally picked it up, I was astounded at how wonderful it works!  It is not like other "blending" tools, it takes your chalking ink and makes it like a paint brush!  I am amazed at the results.  I tried two different styles with the two cards I made for you today.

On the first card, I stamped and embossed an image then used a variety of Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking inks to color in the details.  The colors came out very true and rich.  I fussy cut the image and popped it up on the lovely Farmhouse 104 paper.  I added a layer of clear Wink of Stella to the wings although it doesn't show to well in this photo.

Here I am in the process of painting with my new brush:

On the second card, I took a dictionary page of a Scissortail Flycatcher and colored in the existing image.  The image fades at the edges and the brush worked great.  I also inked the entire circle leaving only the image clear for a more vintage feel.

Not much of the blue came through on the body since the image was printed in black, but enough to give it a soft look.
