Here's a card I made for the current ALLSORTS CHALLENGE (Week 772) where Ellie has chosen the theme of Feathers and/or Fur (or there is always the anything goes option).
 |
| 4.5" x 5.5" Custom made card to fit the main panel and matting. |
As you can see . . . I went for the feathers theme and chose two new stamps to play with. The grungy flower is part of a set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous "Botanic Collage CMS447".
The Song Bird words and the bird image were heat embossed (see photo below) and are both from the PaperArtsy Hot Pick stamp set HP1005 which I bought from my local craft shop after admiring the set for YEARS! I grounded the bird with a very useful little stamp from an IndigoBlu set, but I forget which set!
I am NOT affiliated to the the links given - I just wanted to show you all the stamps in these two lovely sets.

Fabulous card, Sarn. Great design and the neutral colours are just perfect. Thank you for joining in the Allsorts Challenge this week using the Feather/Fur option.

You've really brought those stamps to life with this fabulous graphic card.
ReplyDeleteLove it Sarn, a bit of heat embossing always lifts an image and the Birdie is perfect for our Allsorts theme this week. Rather like the colour of the background stamping, not brown, not grey, what I wonder?

Wow Sarn this is stunning … absolutely love the combination of stamps you have used. I have seen that Tim Holtz floral myself and admired it in the past, it looks brilliant with the bird.

Totally stunning card Sarn! The sheen on that beautiful bird is fabulous. Love how you also tied in the 'frames' to the stamped image colours. It's a delight to just sit here and gaze at the end result.
