Hello and welcome! It's time for another challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH! This week, we want to see a bird or birds on your project. (The feathered kind, not the middle finger kind. *wink*) Here's my card:
Here's the inside:
I was playing with embossing paste last weekend, and made a couple panels. This is one of them. I did a light wash over it with cracked pistachio distress ink. The round frame was die cut using a lacey circle and a standard circle Nestie. The bird, sentiment and swirly branch thing were stamped and fussy cut. For a bit of bling, I added rhinestones (that I colored with SN markers!) over the design on the bird. I like it! ☺
