Good morning from my craft room … and today I have the design team contribution I made for the latest ‘birthday’ challenge at Addicted to stamps and more blog.
I grabbed a painty background that was already made (back when my daughter did a photoshoot with my art supplies!) … and made this cute painty graphic bird card.
I actually used the other painty piece that was left to do some paper piecing for the bird for the wing and head and the birthday part of the sentiment.
The bird, branch and flowers were from a magazine set but the stamped words in the background came from a Funky Fossils stamp set.
The bird paper pieced elements I actually embossed with a pearlescent powder over the black to give a little extra shine and dimension.
Then I added black gems as accents to finish off.
I mounted the panel onto black and then onto a Calypso Coral card blank.
Cute but modern and a bit funky!
Happy crafting!
