Hero Arts Monthly Challenge and Gallery Idol

Hero Arts Monthly Challenge for June includes weddings and  congratulations which fits perfectly with the PaperCraft Gallery Idol contest.  I created this card for both challenges.


Recipe:
  1. Cut circle from white cardstock. Spray with chalkboard glimmer mist. (Tattered Angels - Peacock) 
  2. Stamp background image over glimmer mist background using acrylic paint. (Hero Arts - G2444 Large Fabric Design)
  3. Paint chipboard bird with white acrylic paint. 
  4. Stamp bird using music background and blue ink. (Hero Arts - CG222 Music Background). Sponge edges with light brown dye ink.
  5. Stamp sentiment on circle using black ink. (Verses - Grow Old with Me - QQ0806C)
  6. Frame circle with Websters Pages Trim and gems.
  7. Glimmer mist edges of Prima flowers and add touch of glitter. Attach with more trim. 
  8. Add doily and bird to front of card. 
The only issue is I don't know if I will use this as a card, tag or front to a bag. It turned out larger than I had imagined when I started. :)

Hope your day is beautiful wherever you are!

    Stunning creation Sue. I love those smokey blues with the hint of ecru and the tulle is a lovely touch. Whichever way you decide to use it will be fab.

    How unusual and so very beautiful all in one, Sue!! It is gorgeous and I think maybe it would be grand on a round box. It is something that should be kept and where people can see it! Just a thought!

    Gorgeous and amazing! Good luck on the Idol competition...even though you probably don't need it. You are the idol for all card-makers already!

    Just gorgeous! I think this is a beautifully constructed card. I have noticed unfortunately that 'birds' are always connected to vintage style in peoples minds, whereas they can look pretty on any style card.
