And now for the details of my card... I'm featuring a beautiful Canada Jay die by Prism Studio on my card this weekend. This die was quite a bit larger than I expected, so I had to come up with a design that really let it be the focal point. I inked up some watercolor paper in shades of grey and then cut the layers using the sample from the back of the package. Distress Oxide in Black Soot gave me a deep grey and Lost Shadow Distress Oxide and Spray Stain gave me the lighter variations. I used a black marker for the tiny bits, rather than pulling out another scrap of paper to cut from.
I used some scraps on my desk from some Valentine's I've been making to assemble a little envelope for my bird to be carrying- it was very simple but that glittery heart definitely has the sparkle factor that would appeal to a bird!
My background features a beautiful embossing folder called Classic Pinecones 3D by Altenew. It's a slimline folder, so is narrow and long. I cut my embossed layer as wide as I could to get the whole design, which is 3.75" wide. I embossed in Kraft, the same color as my base card, then did some ink blending over it with some touches of green (Rustic Wilderness) and the rest is the new Scorched Timber Distress Ink. It's very deep on the Kraft, which I love as it gives me a background that doesn't distract from my bird!
I finished the card with a sentiment, this is from an OLD Lawn Fawn set, and some red twine for a little pop.
There's a lot of fabulous texture on this card! You can see on the wings where I added a bit of extra shading with Distress Watercolor Pencils.
I hope you like my card! Next up is my creative friend Meghan with something tweet for you. Happy hopping! If you get lost or just want to see the full hop details again, you can find everything you'll need on the Scrap 'N Stamp blog!
