Well the bird watching season has pretty much come to an
end. It was a very short season for us this year because we are fussy as to
when we leave the house. We just don’t enjoy being out in bitter cold or rainy
weather so we skipped several days and I don’t have a water-proof camera either.
I don’t usually have good days when the wind is cold or on rainy days anyway so
that is also a factor on when we can go…darn old brain disorders is not helping
the situation!
I have a few more beautiful bird photos to post but those
are for another day. Today I’m combining my love of photographing birds and
making cards. Here’s what I came up with.
This is a photo of the Scarlet Tanager that I took. The
sentiment was added in Photoshop and I printed it out on photo paper. As I
looked at it I realised the bird is redder than this in real life and the tree
had a bit of a bluish purple tinge to it. Then it hit me. Oh, on. My ink cartridge is obviously
not picking up one colour. Well, I could have thrown it out but man I hate to
waste anything so I went ahead and made it into a card because, although I know
the colour is off, will a non-birder? It’s still a nice photo I think as it sort of has that vintage look to it. We shall
see what others think of it. The edges were inked with a black pen before
gluing it to a white card base.
Cheers
Violet
I like the card Violet!! I've often thought of doing that with some of my photos but haven't tried it yet.
