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.

Love the soft and subtle colors and what a great background! How clever the way you used the heart tin to display that AO bird! Love this!
Gorgeous!! I love the bird showcased in the heart tart tin. Perfect touch to this piece. Great make Tracy! -- Mary Elizabeth
Tracy...love your bird piece for Artistic Outpost. That is such a pretty stamp collection. I have it but don't think I've used it. Imagine that!! :) At any rate, I love your design and the addition of the heart shaped tin. You and your hearts! :) Love the torn edges of your mottled background, too. <3 Candy
Gorgeously elegant.
The Weathered Wood is a beautiful colour for this stamp set.
Can I ask where you purchased your heart shape tart tin?

Wow! This is really stunning, Tracy. I love the heart tin showcasing the bird. This looks just like a piece of art out of an Anthropologie catalog. Loving the muted tones.
