Golden Birdies!

Hi stampers!

I have some more lovely entries to share!

First we have this card that was sent in by Belinda Spencer:

Belinda says:

"I have had this little golden bird on a branch (by Making Memories) burning a hole in my stash for quite a while now. This challenge couldn't have been more perfect, so the bird was my starting point. I first created a background by inking up some white cardstock with Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks. Next I sprayed it with Vintage Pink Glimmermist to create a lovely shimmer".

"Then I stamped the Darkroom Door Splatter Background Stamp over the top using Aged Mahogany. I used a Tattered Angels Flourish Stamp inked up with Timber Brown Staz On over the top. The cream coloured florishes were stamped with a chalk ink onto transparency and then cut out before sticking down on the card. I heat embossed a Dusty Attic chippie flourish with gold embossing powder. I also used the same embossing powder on the leaves. To finish, I added the little gold birdie, a Prima rose and the sentiment before layering onto some dark brown card and then onto the pink card base".

Gorgeous work Belinda!

Next we have this card that was sent in by Shirley Henry:

Shirley says:

"Background sponged with distress inks Tumbled Glass and Pumice Stone. Masked a sun with a negative circle in Mustard Seed distress ink. Stamped twigs from Tim Holtz creative textures collection in tea dye distress ink. Birds nest from Darkroom Door Love birds set stamped in Bundled Sage. Eggs in nest coloured with gold smooch".

"My favorite branch from Darkroom Door Yuletide VOL2 set stamped first in Bundled Sage, then overstamped in Crushed Olive. Bird from Hero Arts Two Birds cling set stamped in More Mustard and cut out. Used sponge dauber to add more colour to bird with same ink and Wild Honey. Black pearl for eye. Bird mounted with foam tape".

"'Celebrate' from Darkroom Door All Occasions set stamped in More Mustard on an oval die from a Quickutz set (Santa`s Workshop). Oval was sponged with dauber in Bundled Sage, two gold rhinestones added and then attached with foam tape. More Mustard sponged around edges of panel. Attached to folded white card".

Lovely work Shirley!
