Today a new challenge is going up at the Stampin' Celebration Inspiration challenge. Check out the photo and see how I was inspired.
My card was colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Did you know you can color with them without adding water? They blend really way. I colored the background by doing a water wash with my paint brush and picking up ink for the yellow and watercolor paint for the blue.
My plan was to stamp a bird in canary yellow to match the colors in the photo, but I what came out of my pen was a cardinal. There is a good explanation. I grew up in the small town of Corning, CA. Our small claim to fame is Jeff Stover who played for the San Francisco 49ers. Football was big in our little town and it still is. Our high school mascot was the Cardinal. Every time I see one of those beautiful red birds I feel a bit of nostalgia and pride for my hometown. Allow me a moment here to share a photo and story for last week's football game.
Corning High Alumni and 2-time Super Bowl Champion with the San Francisco 49ers, Jeff Stover was at Cardinal Stadium to give Corning Union High School a Golden Football presented by the National Football League commemorating its 50th NFL season.
