Creative Expressions Birds

Here is my latest DT piece for Creative Expressions using Sam Pooles Birds stamp set. I've made another card.






I edged a white card blank and spotty background paper with weathered wood Distress ink.
I coloured a piece of white card with old paper Distress ink direct to the card and then sponged it with tumbled glass. The stamping has been done with weathered wood. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a Spellbinders Label 4 die. The flowers were cut with a Sizzix Tim Holtz/Alterations mini tattered floral die and the bird was cut with a die from the Spellbinders Bird Sanctuary set. All the die cuts were coloured with Distress ink and the bird and flowers were covered with Clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles.

I'm entering my card into the
Artful Times Birds challenge.
