Sunny Side Up


Challenges:


The Ribbon Reel 'Citrus Sunshine'

Simon Says Stamp ands Show Tim Holtz techniques


Firstly, I love these colours aren't they beautiful? I'm pleased that I managed to make a smaller card this time - usually I go for 8x8 or make my own size up, but I've got everything on a 6x6 lol. I started this card by heavily distressing the edges of my paper, then did some fun layering - a die cut scallop, doily, and more die cut circles in various forms and topped it with this fab chipboard bird.



 


 
I've Shabby Shutters crackle paint on the bird and then flicked white paint over to give a mottled effect, and of course inked it! I used seam binding, lace for the bow and finished with pins and a Websters chiffon rose (cut of a length of trim)
I finished with a digi stamp butterfly and some little paper roses.
