Theme and Sketch Inspiration

Still plenty of time to enter this month's Stamplorations Theme & Sketch Challenge and today the team is showing more projects to inspire you on the Stamplorations blog.



As I followed the theme but not the sketch last time, I am using the sketch for this card.


I started by my focal image, the bird from the Trendy Birds 2. First I inked and stamped it using water soluble inks (Ecoline pens), spritzing the stamp with water before touching the paper. I also sprayed the paper lightly to get more of the feathery effect.
Then I stamped the image again, this time with black dye ink.

To create the arc in the bottom corner, I used the smaller birds, going from dark to light.
I then stamped the sentiment, by combining 2 of those included in the same Trendy Birds 2 set.

For the background, I added Distress inks through the Retro Circles stencil and Shutters Mini.
I die-cut the panel down to card size using the Crazy Double Running Stitch die set.

Finally, with  enamel accents in Orchid, I added 3 dots bottom right and the bird's pupil too.

Do check out my teamies' makes on the Stamplorations blog and do create something on the Family theme and/or following the sketch for a chance to win some Stamplorations goodies...

Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the The Artistic Stamper and Penny Black and more challenges.
