SmudgeFest - Day Six

Today is Day Six of SmudgeFest. The challenge for today was called Saturday's Song. The challenge was to create an ATC  with the song "Blackbird" by the Beatles as an inspiration. Blackbird is one of my favorite songs and I love crafting with blackbirds and ravens so I was stoked for this challenge!

Blackbird Fly ATC
I cut out the base of my ATC with my cricut machine. I used the baby wings digital stamp from the Smeared Ink Heart Wings set. I colored the wings and hearts with colored pencils. I added some bling with glitter on the wings and along the edge of the birdie's hat. I scrunched up my background paper, sanded the edges and distressed it with ink. The blackbird is cut from a discarded catalog. I further embellished the card with a tiny seed bead, black tulle and a pinky-red pom-pom.

Along with SmudgeFest, I am entering this ATC in the following challenges:

Dilly Beans - worn, torn and distressed
Simon Says - Bingo (die cut & glitter)
Tuesday Alchemy - Bingo (diecut & bling)
ATC's with Attitude - #20 anything goes
That Craft Place - things with wings
Digi Doodle - #120 things with wings
Sweet Stampin - things with wings
Love to Create - #27 die cuts & punches)
Dream Valley - #38 die cuts & punches)

Please take a minute and look at the artwork on display at the above listed sites. It will put a smile on your face!

SmudgeFest has been so much fun, I'm sorry it is going to end tomorrow. Can't wait to see what the last challenge is!!!
