I had a lot of fun making this card. I've been admiring this stamp (Hero Arts Timely Bird) for a couple of years now, but never actually bought it until recently when I needed a bit of cheering up! I am in love with bird stamps! I applied distress markers directly to the stamp, spritzed lightly with water and stamped on vellum. I backed the vellum with white card. Next I used some modge podge to cover some white card stock with the patterned tissue paper. I die cut both panels with a Lil Inkers stitched rectangle die ( more retail therapy). I dyed the seam beading with the distress ink and then put the little cluster together. We had a wonderful response to our September Autumn theme challenge - it was very hard to pick a favourite! You can see the wonderful inspiration from the design team here. I do hope you'll play along this month! Thanks for popping by! I am entering this card in the Simon Monday Challenge - Finishing Touch. |
Gorgeous card Jenny. LOVE that bird stamp ... especially done in distress inks on vellum --- so pretty!! Great idea to use patterned tissue paper for your background. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I can't believe the distress markers actually stayed on the vellum! I would have thought it would smear off but it looks amazing! Everyone needs retail therapy. I'm glad you got some :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!...I too enjoy bird stamps and so glad they are becoming popular. .Love your use of vellum and pattern tissue too!
ReplyDeleteyour card is lovely, cute with the sweet embelishment, yes, birds are always great:-)
ReplyDelete(for the glass I used acrylic to paint it, but maybe chalkpaint is better to sand it!)
I've got the same stamp!! Love the effect stamped on vellum!!
