STAMPlorations inspiration #175

It's time for another Tuesday inspiration post from the DT at STAMPlorations where this month for all of our challenges we're celebrating Spring with a "Things with Wings" theme. We'd love for you to join us. There are prizes to be won!

After my first two, die cut heavy creations with wings this month, I've gone back to those wonderful, mailable, lovely one-layer cards. Meet today's rainbowed bird.

black gems

I used a rectangle die to make a mask for the outer edges of the front of my card. Then I stamped various branches around the outside edge, trying to cover nearly all of the edges so that when the mask was removed the center area would have the illusion of being framed. I love this technique! Then I used my MISTI to stamp the bird, inking it up with various Distress Ink colors (you can do this with your kids' water-based markers too) and spritzing with water before stamping. The sentiment and two black gems completed my design. EASY peasy.

Make a project with wings and link it up at the STAMPlorations Blog Hop Linky Party for your chance at a GC. Throughout the month, all winged-themed products are 15% off -- no coupon needed. Use my discount code in the side bar to get 20% off on top.
