A bird has been trying to make a nest all week out of my wreath. She steals a silk flower here, a silk flower there and thinks I don't notice. I noticed and was inspired. FYI: All this month, Stampendous is also having a recycling challenge. So when momma bird wasn't looking, I also stole a few twigs and such from the wreath.
Stamp the Cling Calligraphy Sampler on white panel.
Place Opto Checkerboard stencil on top of stamped panel; With foam applicator, ink over stencil to leave impression on design.
Dry emboss the panel usinng the same stencil being careful to line the stencil and panel up when placing them in embossing machine.
Ink Jumbo Songbird stamp with brown ink; Before stamping, wipe off the ink where the leaves would be and color these areas with markers; "Huff" on image and stamp.
Ink around edges of panel and distress with distress tool.
Sprinkle both Clear and Aged Gold Embossing Enamel randomly on panel and heat from underside to melt.
Embellish with twigs, cocoa fibers and button.
