Hi all, A bit late in the week for me but I got there eventually! This week's Global Design Project challenge is a theme week all about Winged Creatures! What does Winged Creatures mean to me?! Well, Butterflies were what stood out to me first, however this challenge is designed to get you crafting out of your comfort zone, well for me that's the idea anyway so I didn't reach for my many butterfly stamps and dies...instead I opted for an unused stamp set that I have in my stock...Best Birds! I love this stampset and I have many projects pinned to Pinterest unsing it but nope it's still untouched...until this week! The card measures 4" x 5, 3/4". Using the Stazon ink I have stamped the branch onto watercolour paper and then the bird to get the image that the bird is standing on the branch. I also stamped "it's a good day". On a seperate piece of Watercolour Paper I have stamped the bird again and 3 flowers. Using the watercolour pencils and an aqua painter I have coloured the images in and left to dry. Whilst there are coordinating framelits for this stamp set, I didn't purchase them so I have cut the bbird and flowers out using my good old scissors. I have attached the bird and the flowers to the base image using Dimensional foam pads. To make the edge of the watercolour paper & DSP look rough, I have scratched the edge using the blade of my scissors. The DSP has been stuck to the Early Espresso cardstock, trim added and the image using dimensionals to make it stand out. Watercolouring is still very new to me but overall my technique is improving. This isn't a traditonal "my style" of card but I hope you like it! To purchase any of these items that I have used, please click "visit my shop" below.
