Bird & Vines – Tutorial #420

I’m home now.  Been teaching workshops in the sunny state of Florida.   Wish I could have brought some of that sunshine home to Ohio with me.  I think we are in for yet another week of rain. 

Since I don’t have sunshine here, I’ll just create some in my tutorial today.  🙂   How does that sound to you?  It made my step a little lighter.

Stamped the Flourish from the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Baroque Motifs on a 4.25″ square piece of Whisper White card stock by loading it first with Versamark and then loaded it Pear Pizzazz ink before stamping it at the bottom of the card stock.

Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.  

Note:  If you use clear embossing powder you can emboss in any color of ink that you have.  🙂

Colored the Bird stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Hostess set Punch Potpourri using Markers, huffed on the stamp and then stamped it on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock.      Colored the belly with More Mustard, bottom of belly and beak with Cajun Craze head and back with Chocolate Chip.

Made a dot for the bird’s eye after stamping it using a Basic Black marker.

Punched the Bird out using the Stampin’ Up! Ex-Large Bird Punch.

Put Versmark all over the bird and dipped it into the clear embossing powder and then heat it up with the heat gun to emboss the entire bird.

Back to the main image panel.

Brayered More Mustard ink at an angle at the top left side of the card stock.

Brayered Cajun Craze ink at the same angle not covering the More Mustard ink entirely.

Sponged Always Artichoke ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Sponged Early Espresso at the bottom of the card stock.

Stamped the Flourish again using Early Espresso ink.  Then wiped the ink off of my embossed image.

Added 2 Early Espresso panels, 1 Pear Pizzazz panel, 4 Early Espresso Photo Corners.   Glued the bird onto the front of the main image panel.   I then took 2 more Early Espresso photo corners and cut them in half.

Added 1/2 of a photo corner to each side of the card front.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square.

May  you feel the sun shining on you today.

Until my next post. . . . . .  .

Hugs,

Michelle
