I was inspired by Tim's tag for April... Although it doesn't take much for me to pull out a stamp with a bird or something to do with nature! :) Lisa's Blogger's Challenge this week is For the Birds.
Here is my take on Tim's tag:
I started with a frame scrap that I had leftover from a die previously cut. (I went through three of these leftovers before I achieved the effect I wanted. Luckily I had that many of them in my scrap box. :)
Stamp Memory Box Elegant Damask using black ink onto frame. Sponge with orange and brown dye ink.
Die cut branch (Memory Box). Stamp Memory Box Mail Definition stamp onto branch and tag using black ink. Sponge branch with brown dye ink.
Stamp bird (Memory Box) using Broken China onto cardstock. Cut out with scissors. Stamp Sentiment (Memory Box) using black ink on tissue paper. Tear out and sponge with orange and brown dye ink.
Sponge background of tag using blue dye ink and brown dye ink. Distress edges.
Inks: Ranger Archival Ink - Black, Coffee, Ranger Distress Inks - Broken China, Rusty Hinge, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain
Have a lovely Tuesday!
