I made this for this week's Craft Secrets Member Forum challenge (here), which had this card by Jenn Balcer as the inspiration.
I've rotated Jenn's LO by 90 degrees and as I wanted a masculine-looking card I've throttled back on the ribbon! The 'marble' background for the chubby birdy is a couple of brown inks loosely sponged onto a caramel cardstock then a darker brown and a white pigment ink dabbed over that with plastic food wrap.
As my background is quite busy, I omitted the extra layer from Jen's card and just pierced the outline of where it would have been!
TFL!
