Birdie .....

 

This is a card made using an old set of Hero Arts, layering stamps ...... suitable for Christmas and any Winter celebration.....

I want to enter this into the Country View Crafts Challenge for December whose theme is 'Christmas Anything Goes' ....

I used a 5 x 5 inch white card base and cut a 4 x 4 inch matt from white card, this was then matted on black card to form a border.

The bird  (minus its legs) was layer stamped with the stamp positioner using various colours of Versafine Clair inks. This was then trimmed out.

I then stamped the branch and the berries in more Versafine Clair onto the matts along with the legs ! The bird was then applied on foam pads as shown. I added some Glossy Accents to the berries and a black centre to the birds eye.

The sentiment was stamped in Versafine black on white card and heat embossed with clear embossing powder before trimming out, matting on black card and applying on foam pads.

The panel was then mounted on more foam pads to finish the card ..... the bird is definitely a fantasy bird as it could be made from any colours at all .....
