Today's challenge really threw me for awhile. I am not a real graphic stamper, and this art is really graphic and crisp...however, I perservered and this is what I finally finished with...a bit graphic, but more my style...
I used a CB folder and The Big Shot to emboss on Kraft and then used Luminart to HANDPAINT the reeds and the bird. It's hard to tell, but they have a shimmery appearance to them.
I finished by mounting it to Really Rust and Choc. Chip, and using the sentiment from One Touch of Nature. The felt ribbon added to the organic/rustic feel of the colors and the bird.

This was one I almost did.... great minds you know... LOL! I love how you hand painted the cb design with that shimmery luminart. Great job on the IC! It didn't float many of our boats today but we tried, and in the end, there are many gorgeous cards in the gallery today for that perseverence! Lovely work!!!
