I spent more money on powdered inks, way too many out there to choose from. I must admit I like the muted brown undertone of the infusion inks by paper artsy. I used the three I have and just might have to buy more.
I'm entering this for Nancy's DTGD challenge, and the CAS mix up challenge http://casmixup.blogspot.ca/ (stamping and sprays, I've thrown in some die cuts and watercolouring)

I love that stencil and, of course, the bird. Such a great card.

I love the effect you got with the powdered inks! It's like an aged patina or old weathered metal. It's just about impossible to get otherwise, but looks just perfectly executed on your card. Fab idea to pair it up with the crazy bird, too. They fit together wonderfully.

Love how you stenciled with your Gorgeous brown tones and added your die cut Crazy Bird. Right into my fav's so I can try your technique with my Brushos :-) TFS Christine and playing along in my challenge. Hugs, Nancy

LOVE the dark tones of the stenciled background. Will be interested to hear what you think of the infusions compared with bister and brusho when we get together next. The crazy bird is just awesome ... love your colouring. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix up! xx
