Steps .....

A card made in the round. I started with a 6 x 6 inch white card blank. I then die-cut a circle.

The background was made using a stencil, coloured with Distress Oxides and lightly sprayed with water, applying onto the circle (almost like using the stencil as a stamp). I then dried this with a heat gun.

I stamped some flowers (Dyan Reaveley) and coloured these with gold iridescent ink and Distress Oxides which were then trimmed out. I then used stamps from Tim Holtz, Dina Wakley and AAll & Create to stamp with Distress Oxides in pink and yellow and Archival ink in Sepia, adding some lines with a Posca pen.

The flowers were then applied (2 on foam pads) and the sentiment (AAll & Create) was stamped in Versafine black on white card, trimmed out and adhered to the base. The circle was edged in yellow Chalk ink and then Glossy Accents was added to some elements.

The finished design was then stuck in place on the card blank.....

'Bird' Twinchies

Here are my 6 Twinchies for a new swap over on UK Stampers Forum. Linda is running the swap and this months theme is 'Birds'. Each participant has to do 6 x 2 inch squares in the suggested theme.

I have never done these before but quite enjoyed doing them for a change. The base cardstock was cream canvas effect card. All stamps were picked out of my collection and stamped with Versafine black onyx Ink. I have coloured the backgrounds with various Whispers dye inkpads and the rest with Marvey LePlume II pens using a waterbrush to blend. Some iridescent acrylic ink was applied to the crow image. Clear embossing powder has been added to the main images with a Versamark pen to provide a glazed effect to finish.

Hope you like them :-)
