Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A while back my friend Nance invited me to her house to play with paper glaze.
It's like a pearlescent embossing paste and comes in different colors. It's so creamy
and goes through a stencil like a dream!
I used Snowdrop White through this leaf stencil. Long after it had dried, I
lightly sponged some color around it.
I found this piece of alcohol ink in my stash and used that to color this bird.
I love how the design of the ink looks like a wing!

What a fun day of play the two of you must have shared! This may be the same paste I used - creamy is the perfect word for it!
ReplyDeleteLOve your little bird - oh, I see that wing! It was just waiting to be seen by you, Bonnie!

I love the shimmer of those leaves, Bonnie, and what a perfect cut of the alcohol panel to get that fabulous bird. So clever and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, love the background and how you added color after it had dried. That bird looks great on it. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card and so elegant Bonnie, and the pearlescent paste for the stencilled leaves and the added colour looks gorgeous, and the brilliant idea of using this alcohol inked piece for the bird which looks so different and works so well, and some splattering and the gold embossed sentiment finish it perfectly x
ReplyDeleteYou're on a roll with the bird cards Bonnie and I'm loving them! This card is SO pretty with the stenciled and glazed leaves, and the alcohol piece you had worked beautifully for your little feathered friend (and yes, I do see that wing!!)! Lovely, lovely card my friend! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stenciled with pearlescent glaze leaves border, Bonnie. I love the shine. I can't believe I have never thought to die cut birds out of my AI backgrounds...hmmm..you have inspired me again, my friend. TFS Love and Hugs..and so pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up Pastes/Gels Challenge:-)
ReplyDeletethis is brilliant, love the shine on the stencilled background and how amazing that the alcohol ink helps your bird look birdlike, well done xx
ReplyDeleteI love that sponged soft color around the stenciled leaves. Just beautiful and the bird is so pretty. You have such a good eye to spot the wing.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Bonnie. I love the effect of the paper glaze and the little bird is beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteThat is one, outstanding bird, Bonnie and what a fabulous background. Several of us wonder how you think of these techniques but the outcome is always incredibly wonderful. Love this card!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful way to combine two lovely techniques! The shimmer through the leaves is beautiful, and the alcohol inks make for a unique and lovely bird. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteLove the creamy leaves and that little bird is a showstopper! Fabulous card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Bonnie, the paste is gorgeous and love the soft blending around it. Your AI bird is a stunner, love all the veining and colours ♥
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful card, Bonnie. I love the stencilling with the paper glaze. The sponging around it is so soft and pretty, and really sets off the paper glaze perfectly. The bird is gorgeous in those blue AIs.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Bonnie ….
ReplyDeleteLove all your makes …
Hugs Sylvie xx
AMAZING card, my friend. LOVE the pearl leaves with sponging and your bird ... gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeletevery pretty, I like the inking around the paste and the bird is too cute!
ReplyDeleteHold me back, this is unbelievably beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this card, Bonnie! The vertically layered pearly leaves are awesome! The alcohol ink bird is so beautiful and the visual texture adds so much interest! I've thought of die-cutting a butterfly from an AI piece, but not a bird. Great idea!

Bonnie, this alcohol-inked bird caught my attention right away at CH! Then as I came by to get a closer look I saw the shimmery leaves. What a cool design and gorgeous card! Sounds like you and Nance had a great time together. Crafty friends are the best! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues! Take care!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! From the pearly glaze to the alcohol inks, this is one gorgeous card, Bonnie
ReplyDeleteSo many cool products and techniques combined into one fabulous mixed media masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this beautiful card Bonnie! The AI bird looks so pretty and the pearlescent paste is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of paper glaze, but it looks amazing. This pearl effect is so subtle. The gentle sponging of the background looks like a perfect ombre. And I totally agree that the alcohol background pattern is a perfect fit for this little bird.
