The background on the stamped watercolour paper was made with Glimmer Mists I love the way the colours have formed I started with the lights colour in this case it was gold, then misted over a blue and a black cherry colour then let it dry naturally.
Once dry I used the Penny Black aspire stamp and the bird and wording from PTI set Birds of a feather and created a picture.
I used the Cuttlebug folder Bird Call and embossed a piece of card then sponged over this with a wine coloured ink.
I used the Spellbinders Tag Trio to cut out the wording and tied this to the card with a burgandy wine coloured ribbon.
I thought it was worth adding a close up of the glimmer mist background that I made the nice thing about glimmer mist is every time you spray you know you will end up with something different I just wish I could show the twinkle it has. As soon as I layered the glimmer mist colours on this paper I saw a morning sky.
Jak, I love the effect on this card. I got some glimmer mist for my birthday so I must have a play doing a background as this is so effective. The bird looks so at home with that colour background and I like the way that you've done the Cuttlebug one to match. Perfect. Very creative!!!!! Kym

the colours are lovely!Its one of those cards that you stare at for ages because it gives you a sense of peace.Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card Jak - I love the "Britishness" and the grown up elegance of them. I'm getting sick and tired of all the syrupy, childish cards, which are just copies of what passes for creativity across the pond. I believe less is more and some of the cards I'm seeing look more like a jumble sale than a card. Do what you do best Jak, inspire.
