Look at the Birdies (by Zoe)

Good morning Lovelies and welcome to my second post for January featuring these stunning bird themed stamp sets.


My tag is greyboard which I used Distress Oxide inkpads to colour using a blending tool and a little water sprinkled on and dried to give a little texture. I heat embossed in gold the fab verse before adhering the little squares which I'd stamped onto some Gel Press prints I'd made a while back.

I made the Christmas card using watercolour paper and sparkle brush pens and water to get that "wash" effect, and added a few little splatters of water dabbed to create some texture before drying and stamping.

Another watercolour background which I created using re-inkers onto my waterproof craft mat and lots of water, then popped the watercolour card onto it and dried. I heat embossed the image using Versafine black inkpad and clear embossing powder, and a little bit of white and gold gel pen here and there to highlight.

I started my Wise Owl card by stamping him using Versamark inkpad and heat embossing in silver embossing powder. I placed a large circle as a mask over him, then blended Distress Oxide inkpads around him and the mask with a blending tool. With the mask still in place I used a patterned stencil/mask over the whole thing and spritzed with water, carefully blotting with a dry cloth, then removing the stencil and blotting again to reveal the subtle and interesting water marks. Once completely dry I second generation stamped using a grey inkpad the verse randomly in the background.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and leave a comment, I love to read what you think.
Have a wonderful day xx Zoe xx
