This is my first "live" post for a fortnight! For the last two weeks you've been getting a pre-recorded version of me while we went off to Italy, but here I am now, for real, filled with pizza, pasta and Prosecco. With lots of blogstalking to catch up on, so I'll make this a quick post.
For my card today, I tore out some text from a magazine and painted a layer of gesso over it, then when it was dry I stamped the Kingfisher from The Bee's Knees SmallBirds in Versafine Onyx Black and dried it, then coloured with Distress Inks and markers. Add a bit of stencilling (TCW), stick the image in place, add a sentiment (Woodware) and some black scratch marks (credit card) and I'm calling it done.
This is going into Simon Says Monday - Royal (KING-fisher)
and Simon Says Wednesday - Make It Masculine.
I'm over on the STAMPlorations blog tonight with this card using Brusho and the marigold stamp from the STAMP Club set. Check it out here.
My FAVORITE bird set! ;) -- as usual I love your coloring! Hope Italy was fun!

ReplyDeleteI love this card so much Shirley-Bee, so much that I cant even tell you how much. Its so simple and yet so full of interest and detail and colour. You always have a way with that - its a rare talent, I love seeing you pull it off. I am not around the blogs this much this year as I was fortunate enough to be last year, but I sure am glad that I decided to come make a stop at yours today. This card put such a smile on my face. - candice - (aka Tincan Crafter)
