 | | This card uses Laura's (2 Sketches 4 You) exclusive Caardvarks Sketch. The Poofy Grunge Flower technique was very fun.
I used my Creative Memories Circle cutter to cut two sets of circles through dictionary pages (from an old dictionary I found at a used book store). I stapled the circles twice in the middle and cut larger slits than shown in the example.
Rather than scrunch the paper in my hand, I used various ink pads along the edges of the circle moving in an upward motion to bring the paper up and toward the center. I used metallic rub-on paste on my fingers to add a bit more color and separate the layers of paper a bit more.
The papers and sentiment are from Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste 8x8" paper pad. The tiny bird is part of an Inkadinkado Duet bird stamp (inked with brown marker and clear embossed). I hand-drew the music notes with the same marker.
