BIRDS OF A FEATHER

Time for our monthly BLOG HOP with Artistic Outpost and this time around it is Designers Choice and I have decided to showcase the fabulous BIRDS OF A FEATHER plate this month.

The background piece has been coloured with Weathered Wood Distress Ink and flicked with water to add blotches to the backdrop. I have also distressed the edges with a pair of scissors.

I have added the fabulous bird image to a heart cut from white card, stamped with Watering Can Archival Ink and coloured with Weathered Wood Distress Ink which I have then showcased in a Heart Tart Tin.

I love the dimension the Tart Tin gives to my design.

I have also added random background stamping to my backdrop using the background stamp from the BIRDS OF A FEATHER plate and Watering Can Archival Ink.

A smaller heart has been added to the top of my card stamping part of the bird image to the heart incorporating a sentiment stamped on a banner, again coloured with Weathered Wood Distress Ink.

The background stamp has been added to the bottom corner of my card, I use the text from this stamp on many of my designs, its a great all rounder for any design.
