Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
We just had our December Craft Group meeting.
Our swap them was winter.
Here are my swaps.
I CASEd this card that made me go to Unity and order this stamp.
I used the emboss resist technique and watercolor background.
After embossing the branches, I smooshed into Distress Oxide ink spritzed
with water. I dried and smooshed some more until I was happy with them.
The sweet bird has been stamped and watercolored.
Here's a closeup of one. I colored his hat blue and matted the layers with kraft.
I left off a sentiment so my friends could add their own.
Challenges:
Triple B-Birds, Butterflies & Blooms - I wasn't inspired by the mood board but wondering how this bird would look in black and white. Hmm...
