Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by. Once everyone goes to bed it is not uncommon for me to head down to The Studio - as much as I get deadlines met and other projects completed - I do like to spend the time doing something for 'ARTS' sake - I am sure you know what I mean! I often try to create using my 'proiffial' vision rather than be exact and keeping within the lines I do find it very freeing. For today's card I have used a Penny Black Inc. cling stamp set.
I have inked the images from the Penny Black inc. Winged Beauty cling stamp set using Imagine Memento Ink in Teal Zeal, Rhubarb Stalk and Bamboo Leaves with a sponge dauber. Next they have been stamped onto white card stock. Once the ink is dry I have created a sky background using the edge of torn card stock and Imagine Memento Ink in Summer Sky, this has also been applied using a Sponge Dauber.
The card front has been cut/embossed using Spellbinders A2 Distressed Edges Card Creator Etched Dies and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform and popped up onto slightly larger black card stock using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Foam Tape. The layered image is then adhered to the pre-cut card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra
The top sentiment has been stamped using black ink, trimmed and adhered to the top right corner of the card front, some sponging has been added o make it blend rather than stand out. The lower sentiment has been computer generated, trimmed and adhered to the lower right corner also using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.

Such a lovely bird card! Love the way you created the sun and cloud background - So happy you linked this up to The House That Stamps Built!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Linda, for continuing to share your projects and creativity at 613! A very peaceful setting, perfect for you sentiment. Love the die you use to cut your focal image panel - very free flowing with the deckle edge and yet defined with the embossed feature along the border. I really like that look!
