Happy Bird Day

I've been using the Umount Birds A5 Stamp Plate to create my two cards this week for Creative Expressions.

My background was created using Distress Inks weathered wood, broken china and chipped sapphire. I then cut a circular aperture from paper and used a water brush to remove the colour.

I used the small leaf to create my vines and added the two bird houses and bird on a branch using a water brush to remove some of the ink to give white highlights. To complete I added Happy Bird Day to the bottom of my card.

Whilst my inks were out I decided to create a second card, this time masking my card to just leave a strip in the centre which I then sponged with Distress Inks and spritzed with water. I then stamped my birds with black Archival Ink and added the vine to one side.

I cut two hearts from white card using the mini hearts set, sponged with Distress Ink and spritzed with water to coordinate with my background. I also added a button which also has bird images printed on along with some natural twine. For added dimension I also added wings from Tim's Adornments Charms along with BIRD using some small wooden letters.
