I'm entering this card into Impression Obsession's Challenge this week. The theme is "Hey there, Hi, Hello..... you can find all the details and beautiful Design Team creations here at Impression Obsession's Blog.
This challenge was a good reason for me to get this Funky Bird on a Branch out and create a card with him ! I love this image, it's so cool !
I used the following Impression Obsession stamps to create this card: H10008 Bird on a Branch, CC018 Cover a Card - Greenery and A3579 "Hello".
To create the background on the mat behind the image I used Cover a Card Greenery, stamped with Versa mark on white card stock and embossed with Copper powder. I blended bundled sage & broken china distress inks over the embossing.
I stamped the Bird on a Branch image on watercolour paper with black StazOn ink and coloured with TomBow markers & water. Once again the photo has lightened my colours, they are a little deeper and there is more shading that you can see here. I also used a little blue distress ink around the white cardstock.
The image was matted with black cardstock & the copper "greenery" is adhered to black folded card stock. I added some blue ribbon & rhinestones and it's done !
Thanks for dropping by & have a great day !

Beautiful card Shirley !!
Your shading is beautifully done and that DP is perfect. Do you know which artist our two stamps are from? I love her work. I think my Christmas ornament stamp from IO is also hers. Your hummingbird card in the above post is gorgeous!
Wow! Just realized that was not DP but embossing instead. Beautiful!
