Spread Your Wings

It is challenge time again and this month the challenge at Inkurable Stampers was to use paint!  I love playing with paint and what a better reason to use my newly purchased Viva Precious Metal Colour!

The card uses a 14 cm square white card base.  The strip on the left is punched with a Martha Steward punch.  The pale blue cardstock was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The circles were punched from scrap, the flourish ones were punched from some gorgeous embossed ‘wedding’ paper that I sponged with Distress ink to give a bit of colour.  The words are from Darkroom Door Love Birds set.

The birdcage is die cut from chipboard & painted with Viva Precious Metal Colour (cinnamon) and backed with a piece of textured velum.  The bird was painted with Distress Crackle Paint in broken china.  I rubbed the wing over with a bit of the matching ink before coating with Glossy Accents.  If you look closely the branch and the birds legs are painted two different browns in the Crackle Paint – I find it defines the legs a bit.
