My Time to Craft wants to see something new in our stash. I love bird stamps, and I feed the birds in my backyard. One of my favourites of the ones who come to my feeders is the nuthatch so when I saw this nuthatch stamp I had to have it.
It's stamped and watercoloured, with a bit of light text stamping around it. I bordered it with a bit of mottled sand-coloured cs. I created another background layer with the sentiment stamped at the bottom of it and some twine wrapped around it.
Seize the Birthday wants wet or dry embossing. I used embossing paste which I assume counts as a form of wet embossing. And Inkspirational wants to see stencils.
I sponged various Distress inks through the harlequin stencil onto mixed media cs, cleaned off the stencil, replaced it, and then added clear embossing paste over it. I stamped the butterfly and watercoloured it with the same colours. Then fussy cut it. I popped the background up on fun foam on a rustic card base and added the butterfly and the sentiment.
