Hello friends, thank so much for stopping by. I have had a little change of pace and done a little water colouring - using the Penny Black Inc. Garden Charmers transparent stamp set - how adorable is this bird! I cannot go past a beautiful Penny Black image - or sentiment for that matter!
I have stamped the image onto white card stock using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured using Melissa Francis Watercolours and Aqua Pen. I have also added some stenciling using Memento Ink in Summer Blue and some sponging using Memento Ink in Dandelion and Bamboo Leaves.
The image has been cut/embossed using the fourth largest Die from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Fancy Edged Rectangles Etched Dies. Next it has been popped up onto the largest cut/embossed Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Die and the Platinum 6 Die cutting and Embossing Machine and popped up onto onto a pre-cut card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.
A yellow scalloped edge has been tucked in and glued under the image panels, this is from some scalloped card stock I had trimmed earlier, followed by blue/white twine wound around the lower portion on the card front and secured through a recycled button - this has been glued to hold it in place.
