Things with Wings


Today I would like to intriduce two more images from the animal collection by Crafty Stamps. They are both part of the 2014 launches.

The card above features the emu (AN149F). I coloured in the image using ProMarkers in mainly warm grey tones and deliberately limited the colours used for the background in order to have the emu as focal point.

In addition to the Crafty Stamps image I used:

* White 15cm square card blank with linen texture by Southfield
* Textured cardstock
* Neenah card for the stamped image
* Sue Wilson die set 'Umbria' from the Italian collection
* Sue Wilson die set 'Faux Quilled Blooms' from the Finishing Touches collection for the leaves
* Round cutting dies
* Forever in Time burlap daisies (distributed by Woodware)
* Adhesive pearls
* Tim Holtz design ruler for the pierced section


The second card features the new butterfly set 2 (AN145K). For the colouring I used again ProMarkers, but I also highlighted selected areas using a Sakura gelly roll pen in 'Clear Star'. The background is created with the help of an A4 Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folder to which I added small pearls of Cosmic Shimmer Pearl PVA.

Further 'ingredients' for this card:

* White 15cm square card blank with linen texture by Southfield
* Coloured textured cardstock 
* Neenah card
* Oval cutting dies
* Sue Wilson die set 'Filigree 3D Bow' from the Finishing Touches collection
* Paper roses and rosebuds

Oh, Heike, I can honestly say I have never seen an Emu on a card before but I just love this - so different! Hope you had a Happy Easter, sorry for my late visit, Dips xx
