Urban Birds


Mum and I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday playing with these Papermania Urban Birds stamps.  It's so nice to have a hobby Mum and I share.
I'm quite into kraft at the moment so it features heavily in this card.  The embossed panel was done on kraft core Core'dinations in a lovely soft flesh pink and then sanded to reveal the core.  The embossing folder is Sizzix by Tim Holtz.  I then inked round the edge with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Walnut Stain.
The circular topper was made by stamping onto pink patterned K&Co paper, gently sanded, then matted onto a die cut lacy circle.  I highlighted the bird with Anita's 3D Gloss and went round the edge with Distress Stickles in Worn Lipstick.
The rectangle topper was just stamped onto Papermania kraft card, matted and layered and accented with 3D Gloss.
The patterned paper is K&Co and all the edges have been distressed with my Tim Holtz Distress Tool.
Some Papermania square gems and shimmer dots, along with some ribbon and a bow finish it off.
I am entering this card in the following challenge -
Mojo Monday - 228 sketch
Drunken Stampers - #83 texture
