For Linda's WTUI challenge this week ~ Ovals, which I was able to combine with Vicky's challenge to the CCEE Stampers, which was to use a silhouette stamp and include a sentiment on the front.
I broke away from my usual florals and pulled out this very old bird stamp. I used masking to sponge just the oval centre of the embossing folder with sunrise colours, after stamping and embossing the bird. Then I masked that off while I used the Faux Patina technique on the rest. I finished it off with some Stickles round the oval to help add definition and clean it up a little.
