This card is from the Layers of Color New Release set Touch of Elegance: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
I love this set, it can be used in so many different ways
I have stamped the image into white CS and lightly chalked it to match the gorgeous DP (love that colour) I than sponged around the edges with Distressing Ink and layered it onto black CS. The black can just make the card 'pop' and in this case it does! This was in turn layered into some embossed CS, which has also been layered into the black CS.
I stamped this adorable Chickadee from the Layers of Color art stamp set Backyard Birds and challked it in the greens - I have never seen a chickadee but know I love to hold them - they are so-o-o cute - it is their shape that wins me, they are so round and adorable!!
I also added some lace that has been sent to me my my good stamping friend Maxine (aka Kiwime) Black gems have been added onto the lace, for effect! The gorgeous corners are part of a RAK and are Stampin' Up, I believe.
The corners are made from one of the images being torn diagonally across the middle, then sponged and layered onto the black CS. A final touch is added with the image being stamped and punched with a small circle, sponged and then popped up on a dimensional and one little nail bling is added to the centre of it.
I am using 'artistic licence' here and linking this card to the Ways to Use it Challenge where we are to be inspired by a Holiday song - 'Rocking Robin' is a favourite in our house and always seems to be sung over the Chritsmas Holidays - which are aproaching at a fast rate - skeery!! Now I know this is a chickadee but for the purpose of this challenge it is a robin - this is one clever 'multi tasking' bird! LOL!
