A Little Note

August 27, 2008

Here is a card made for the sketch challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. Every Wednesday, one of the ladies (usually Roxie) challenges us with a sketch.

Images from the Bird Notes collection of Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps was stamped with Jet Black Impress ink on white cs. Used Pale Sepia, Cream, Lemon Yellow, Light Walnut and Apricot Copic markers to color in the bird images and then applied liquid embossin on the birds. Used New Leaf for the leaves and Pale Sepia, Cream, New Leaf and Lemon Yellow for the image with the music sheet. Sentiment was stamped with Walnut Stain. Used a decorative scissor to cut around the main image and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain and sprayed it with Glimmer Mist. This technique was also used for the music sheet and sentiment. Background paper is from the Earthy Paper Design collection of Crafty Secrets which was mounted on brown cs. Used snaps, half pearls, ribbon, Prima flowers and brads to finish off the card.
