Bird in a Frame

I had fun using a piece of chipboard that I have had in my stash for awhile for another fun project for  the  Stampendous challenge.  


And a close up of the texture on the frame:
 Recipe:
  1. Ink up the frame using Versamark Watermark Ink Pad. 
  2. Heat emboss using Stampendous Aged Gold Embossing Enamel
  3. Ink up the Jumbo Zinnia border cling stamp with versamark ink.
  4. Heat up embossed frame in sections. Stamp border into warm embossing powder. Let sit for 30 seconds. Remove.  Repeat around the edges. 
  5. Trace white cardstock in shape of birdcage frame. 
  6. Stamp the Jumbo Cling Songbird the white cardstock using versamark. Heat emboss using Stampendous Aged Gold Embossing Enamel powder. Cut out and pop dot on the front of the frame.
  7. Stamp the verse from  the Jumbo SongBird Cling using Versafine Toffee along the left side of the background. 
  8. Stamp the Jumbo Cling RoseHip flowers  in versamark and embossed using Aged Gold Embossing Enamel
