Two Bird Cards by Fran

Hi all!

Today I have made two small (4" x 4") cards which can be used for any occasion, like a thank you, birthday, best wishes, hello, etc.

 I made the backgrounds by smooshing distress inks with water onto my mat and putting the card into the ink.

For the first card, I stamped the wire fence on each side of the card

I then stamped the main image onto the card, and again onto some heavyweight paper so I could colour and cut it out

I edged the card with a Lucky Clover and Black Soot to frame the main image.  I then added a cut out question mark to my final card (a personal touch to send to a friend of mine)

  

For the second card, I stamped a moon onto the background with a darker blue, and edged the card with silver embossing powder

I stamped the bird image separately and coloured and cut it out before sticking it on the card

Jagged chain link fence 19140
