Hi
everyone,
Donna
here today with a little hand carved birdie for you.
What to do:
Take
a size 8 manila tag and swoosh through a mixture of Distress Oxides that have
been spritzed with water. Keep going until you achieve the background you’re
happy with.
Next
step is to carve your little bird from Speedy Carve….if you don’t feel
adventurous enough for that then you can use a bird stamp from your stash ;)
Stamp
him onto the tag and colour directly with Distress Markers. Don’t dilute them
with a water brush first as you want the colours more intense, use a white pen
for a bit of doodling.
Next
step is to do some background stamping using a mixture of That’s Crafty! clear
stamp sets, some with black Archival and some with the Oxides.
The
stitching stamp is from my stash but you can draw a similar style to make it
look like stitching or ‘ground’ the bird another way.
Add
more details using That’s Crafty! stencils (at the top of the tag and under the
bird) and then pop a little Tim Holtz sentiment for a finishing touch.
I
think this little birdie is going to fly far and wide ;)
Supplies Used:
That’s Crafty! Clear Stamp Sets – Textures Set 1 and Quirky Girl Penny (leaf)
That’s
Crafty! Stencils – Dinky Hearts and Word Series Time
Hope
you like it
Donna
