LOC Vintage Bird

I have had fun creating my own DP using the Layers of Color Touch of Elegance Clear Art Stamps.  I used three shades of Distressing Inks - Scattered Straw, Walnut Stain and  a blue, stamping some of the images from the set randomly onto the page

 

The Backyard Bird has been cut out using the Oval Nestibililtie the bird is coloured with SU Chalks and has had Kindy Glitz lightly added to give the bird some shimmer!  This is then layered onto the Labels 4 Nestibilitie that has been embossed with the Textiles Embossing Folder.


A gorgeous flower from Wild Orchid Flowers is added and some lace flowers which are part of a RAK from Gunn placed either side, followed by some Chocolate Kaiser half pearls


The final touch is this gorgeous lace that was sent to me by my Mum Lesley Aka SuperNan - it belonged to my Great Grandmother - beautiful isn't it!

This is for the following challenges:
Pile It On - Layers
Pocket Full of Posies - Floral Fantasy
Artful Inkables - Distressed Out
Marks Finest Papers - Five if Something - pearls
Dutch Dare Card Challenge - Vintage Summer
Stampin for the Weekend - Shabby or Vintage

Thank you for your comments and all of the encouragement you leave me here, it is appreciated!!!  I love seeing that you have visited - it makes my day!  It is Friday night here  - a wet and cold one, great for crafting while the family watches a movie and I listen to it!  I love being around the family when I craft, it is always such a nice place to be!!  God bless you I hope you have a great weekend ahead of you!!
