Rock N Rolla July S&S Challenge

Card inspired by "Sail" Awolnation

I created this card for the Rock N Rolla July Challenge going on at Smeared and Smudged. The challenge was to create an art piece inspired by the song "Sail" by Awolnation. They have the video clip on their site. You will find yourself singing the song in your head long after you listen to it.

I used digital stamps from Smeared Ink. The wings came from the "Quoth the Raven" set and "Edgar" was a freebie I received from participating in their June Challenge. I colored the image with chalks. The wings were printed on green scrapbook paper. I attached the digital elements with foam tape to make the images "pop" off the card. The wings are mounted in the center so they appear free to fly away.

The card is embellished with a metal watch face and a turquoise button. I used Glossy Accents on the eyes and used a seed bead as a pupil in the larger eye. I like the look of tulle in my creations so I stapled that to the background paper before mounting it on the cardstock card. I added the words "sail with me into the dark". They are lyrics from the song.
