DH assures me that all birds have to molt sometime...well, these ones are ALL having *one of those days!* The card was done, I was ready to take the pix and something possessed me to use not one, but TWO things I had not yet used...you know, you get it too...stamper's guilt...stuff you HAD to buy or stuff someone gifted you that you have yet to use...well, play with it before you apply it to an otherwise perfectly fine card, really, save yourself the humiliation and frustration!
I tried to brush off the glitter, scrape off, anything...nope, so the birds are molting. That is my story and I am sticking to it!
Image is embossed and colored with Aquapainter and reinkers. Image and CBd mat behind are both up on dimensionals. Learn from my mistake and do not use your *final* copy as a guinea pig. Trust me!
Happy stamping!

I totally understand the glitter - glue - try to remove - whole thing. Been there done that. BUT - your card is truly beautifulm in spite of the molting birds.

That always happens to me when I use stickles! I can never just let them sit and dry...the card falls over or I hit it with my hand...ugh! I get such a kick out of these birds! I just bought this set and haven't used this stamp! Great card and color combo!

I think they are very cute Mel. Bling can never be wrong.....even if it is smeared glitter! Love the flipped sketch.
