#815 Close to nature

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Brenda, is "Close to Nature". As usual you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

My inspiration is a scene I made using some stamps never used before!

I used an oval polymer plate (like a Gelli plate) to ink my background with inks and Brushos powders.

After stamping the bird and the scene (Simply Cards & Papercraft Issue 237) in black Versafine, I added white pastel pencil and some gel pen to the snow areas and the bird's feathers.

Finally I die-cut my scene with the AALL & Create #33 Splodazzlers and added a rectangular mat.


Hop on to the Allsorts blog to upload your project for a chance to win three prizes of A5 stamp sets from AALL and Create
