Hello chaps, thank you for paying a visit today. I am currently in the saddle so hope blogger plays nicely!! Anyway I am here to share my DT piece for
As You Like It and the new theme is
Lines or No Lines.
It's lines for me and this stamp shows perfectly just why.
When my mojo does a runner I generally thumb through some magazines and found the inspiration from a magazine article by Fleur Pearson using Woodware stamps. I was reminded that I had some unused bird stamps similar to those that she used and ended up with this....

When my mojo does a runner I generally thumb through some magazines and found the inspiration from a magazine article by Fleur Pearson using Woodware stamps. I was reminded that I had some unused bird stamps similar to those that she used and ended up with this....
I used promarkers to colour the bird and the messy bit was provided by walnut stain squished on my craft mat and then painted with my waterbrush. The papers are Bazzill Lovely Lace and the flower was also made by die cutting a page from the same set with script on it which suited the grungy look.
The strength of the outline really made the colours sing on this card and I'm so pleased with it!!

Thank you for all the amazing eye candy on this fabulous card, Sarah! I have been staring at it for a long time, soaking in all the details. You added just the right elements and you knew just when to stop! That's a real talent to have! I just adore your stylized birdie and how your colored her and how your framed her so beautifully with the staining, the pp, the awesome flower, and the sweet hello flag!! Mwah! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #4!! Hugs, Darnell
