I love birds as a card theme, especially on Christmas cards so this new Penny Black release is probably my favourite of the year.
Using my MISTI, I started by adding colour with my Memento dew drop ink pads to different parts of the image, stamping and repeating as necessary. Once I had a foundation of colour, I used Distress inks on my palette with water and a paint brush to fill in with more colour.
Once dry, I restamped with Versamark and heat embossed. This gave the outlines of the image a bit more definition. I added a bit of a wash around the edges.
I stamped my sentiment on a little tag and attached it with baker's twine, then popped the panel up on fun foam.
I added Aleene's Glitter Snow Paste to the bits of snow on the log and leaves, and Glossy Accents to the berries.
