Stamplorations 1st post Bird tag

Happy New Year to all STAMPlorations fans! Today we kick off our new Theme & Sketch challenge.

The theme and sketch are:
 
I used the Theme and the sketch (flipped horizontally) and created this tag:


I started by covering the whole tag with designer paper (old collection from Prima Marketing) and dropped acrylic inks on it, spraying with water to move the paint around.

For my focal point, I stamped the bird from the For the Birds set in several colours of ink and embossed with clear embossing powder, adding a few grains of thick red EP. I then die-cut it with the matching For the Birds Dies - CUTplorations.

I placed the bird on a mat composed of 3 layers, a piece of vellum, a piece of gauze, and another
piece of vellum (with red motifs).

The CUTploration phrase - Life is Good is placed over a long piece of metal thread, wound and stapled in place.

I hope my colourful piece will inspire you to enter our challenge, Theme or Sketch (or both…), if you do you could win a prize! Check out all the inspiration from the team on the STAMPlorations blog.
