My design kit this month from Simply Create included this Hero Arts stamp 'little fancy bird'. So I fancied doing a bit of experimenting. After looking on you tube for some inspiration I decided to make my own piece of background with distress inks and embossing.So first I heat embossed my 'happy definition' background stamp with white powder onto watercolour paper. Then I inked up 'silhouette flower' with distress inks and spritzed it with a little water. Then I stamped, coloured and cut out the little bird and attached to the centre of my panel. Finished off by adding twine, a button and the sentiment.
I'm rather pleased with myself!
Three challenges are perfect for my creation......
Creative Inspirations....embossing
Allsorts.....use at least three different stamps. I used five, all Hero Arts.
CAS-ual Fridays....texting skills. I used 'happy definition' to make my background.
And finally, big wave hello to my new followers! Great to see some new faces over there on my sidebar. Hope you like what you see!
