Birds of a Feather

I had such fun making this card!  The feather stamps are and Artemio set I bought at the SECC in October and never got round to playing with until now.  The bird stamp is also part on an Artemio set, but one I bought fairly recently at my local craft shop when I had an I MUST have you moment!
I've stamped the bird in Memento in London Fog and coloured it with Promarkers.  The feathers were stamped with Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy, the brown ones were coloured with the same ink using my Distress Ink tool and the blue one was coloured with Faded Jeans.  The main image and the book print paper were distressed with Antiquie Linen.
The book print paper is from Stampin' Up and the others are Papermania V&A Collection which have a lovely vintage feel.  I got the whole pack for £1 at the SECC!
Next it was time to get busy with the Distress Stickles in Frayed Burlap, Antique Linen and Faded Jeans
Some gems, pearls and a few touches of Anita's 3D Gloss and it's done.



I am entering this card in the following challenges -
Mojo Monday - 231 - sketch
