Well, now you've done it. Someone told me my cards were worth putting into challenges, so I figured if you think so, then I will. I have had my friends tell me that, but they could just be being nice, and I appreciate that ;) So, I am in the process of making cards for some of our pastors for appreciation for thier time and service in our church. This one is for our Associate Pastor.
As you can see I started out with a piece of chocolate cs that I embossed using Tim Holtz Woodgrain. Layered that and sprayed it with Lindy's Starburst Cocoa Bean Copper. Next cut out ovals with Spellbinders and matted them together Next I die cut Bird and Branch, also Spellbinders, and sprayed the branch (cs brown) with Lindy's Witches Potion Purple
and then painted the bird (PTI white cs)with Shimmerz Blueberry Cobbler and Apricot (I love blue birds), the wing was accented with cream cs swirl leftovers and then add some highlights with Rangers Perfect Pearls Blue Patina.
The squared corner work is Sizzix and the cream Kaleidoscope strip is Spellbinder's also. Banner Tag is Spellbinder's, the sentiment and Banner outline is LOC (Layers of Color). All inks used are Tim Holtz Distress (Antique linen and Old Paper). Last but not least, pearls are from Kaisercraft. I wish you could see this in person. All of the sprays I have used have this all just sparkling, the blue bird feathers shimmer just like they would if you looked at them in person. I love Shimmerz paints, they spread easily and evenly and clean up with water. Great stuff :) Thanks for looking!
