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.
distress inks
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.
