WT884 = Birds
MIX473 = Songbird (my mixed media are alcohol inks, regular ink, embossing powder)
I created the background using the Floating Alcohol Inks technique (see for instructions). I dropped a couple of shades of blue AIs in a pan of water and dragged my mixed media cs through it.
When dry, I stamped and heat embossed the sandpipers on an area that looked like watery sand at the edge of the ocean and stamped the gulls in the sky. I wanted the sentiment to be slightly more muted so used a different ink and did not heat emboss it.
I die cut the image with a stitched circle die, and then die cut a slightly larger circle out of black cs to border it.

Gosh, I wish my attempts at that technique had turned out looking anything like this. I think I struggled to use them, whereas yours is the most perfect background for those shorebirds. I love when mixed media and CAS come together perfectly like this.
