LOC Framed Song Bird

I just love an Inspiration Challenge and seeing how everyone interprets it - we can all start with the same thing and create something so different - I discovered the Moxie Fab Word  site the other week

and had to play along again this week in the Trigger Tuesday challenge after discovering I was one of the Trigger Targets for the week - it certainly made by day!

The card I have made for this weeks challenge is inspired by this amazing photo:

I have used the colours, they are fabulous - I have to say I did have to go hunting for the grey card stock, but thanks to my friend Ann and her amazing scrap pile - I had some!!

I used Ranger Distressing Ink in Scattered Straw for the sponging around the edges and also on the Layers of Color Belle Brocade art stencil.  Peeled Paint Distressing Ink was also used.

My main image is from the Layers of Color Backyard Birds art stamps and I have embossed it on top of the Beaded Frames art stamps - the shape of it was quite fitting - I thought!  I coloured the beads with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen.  The bird has been coloured in by lightly wiping the inked dauber over it after sponging the Belle Brocade art stencil.

I pleated a piece of old hymnal and sponged it with the Peeled Paint Distressing Ink and added two rows of faux stitching on it to finish off.

This card is for the following challenges:

Cowgirl's Sunday Stampen Challenge - make your own background

Penny's Challenges  - As long as it flies
