Learn to FLY

I am honored this week to have been asked by the Color Throwdown team to be their guest designer for March.  I love being able to combine color challenges with some sketches, or just use the color challenges as my starting point.  It definitely takes some guess work out of my stamping when I'm in a slump or wanting to get a quick card made.

I also used the sketch from Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge which worked great with these little birds.

Sam is our hostess over at Stampotique Designer's Challenge this week and here is what she has challenged us with:

"I have often been inspired by songs to create something, it could be the song title, the message behind the song or just a line of the song that resonates with me. So I'm excited to be inviting you to create anything that makes you smile using a song for your inspiration. There is no right there is no wrong it's just the way you sing your song!"

I picked a song related to a show I had watched the other day on Palladia TV featuring the Foo Fighters.  I love their music and this biography of the band was very interesting.  I love Dave Grohl!!  The song I chose was Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters, but I have another favorite from Tom Petty called Learning to Fly.  I'm a huge fan of Tom Petty, he's awesome in concert!

So, where does the flying come in?  Well, don't these little birdies look like they are wanting to take off and flap those wings or maybe Jailhouse Rock would have been more appropriate for this line-up?

Hope you will join us over at Color Throwdown today and why not hop on over and combine it with the Stampotique Designer's Challenge, we'd love to see your creations!
