I then added a more colouring to the bird to make him stand out a little more. Layered it onto black card, but decided the edge needed to be narrower. I liked the look of the thin cut black card and decided to use it, goodness knows how the corner came together, but it did and I think it looks OK?

Faith, what a great call to make in adding some color to the bird. It is done just perfectly! What a fun background, too! I love bird cards!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card Faith and s super design, I love the subtle shades you've used, Kate x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, my friend! Love the soft colors you chose for the background.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card, Faith.
ReplyDeleteNot only does that stamp look great over those stenciled colors, the corner design caught my eye instantly! Beautiful design!
ReplyDeleteLOL at you Faith - you always say you're not a stamper but you're pretty efficient at it if you ask me! Love the idea of stamping in black over a stencilled image and think your criss-crossing lines in the corner is a really effective embellishment.

ReplyDeleteWow Faith, this is an amazing card! I am loving your stenciling and I am loving that image. Yay for you using a NBUS stamp! I like the color you added to it. But what I love is the narrow strips of cardstock that made that cool corner piece to your card. That looks amazing!!! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card, with a touch of color from the stencil. Looks great as a background to the wonderful stamp.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card - and wonderful idea to stamp over the stencil like that! I’m glad you coloured the bird a bit more. He stands out wonderfully now!
