Keep A Song in Your Heart

I love the ruler image in the Artistic Outpost Whimsical Melange. When I was working with the ruler I thought wouldn't it be fun to create a background of rulers. I think it turned out pretty cool.

Recipe:
  1. Stamp ruler multiple times using black archival ink on ivory cardstock.
  2. Sponge with yellow, orange and brown dye inks. 
  3. Distress edges using distressing tool. 
  4. Piece together a staggered background.
  5. Stamp little birds randomly on background using black ink. 
  6. Stamp birds on ivory cardstock using black ink. Watercolor with green and reds. 
  7. Punch hearts from music sheet and spray with red glimmer mist. 
  8. Stamp sentiment on ivory cardstock using black ink. Sponge background with yellow and orange dye ink. 
  9. Cut out sentiment and mount on black cardstock. 
  10. Assemble.
