I made this suspension card for today's technique challenge. main image was stamped on whisper white with stazon jet black. Water coloured with squashed ink pads. I masked off the birds and made the clouds using a scalloped edge and sponged on soft sky. I applied clear liquid embossing on the mouses yellow beak to give it some shine. Matted with taken with teal, apricot appeal and basic black. Used my oval nestabilities. Pierced holes in scalloped circle. Added the faux stitching on the TT oval. Main card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 basic black. Next is AA, TT and K&C striped dp. Stitched around edges and up and down a few lines. Punched out circle with nestabilities. Stamped sentiment on bashful blue with TT. Stamped the bird that is in the middle of the sentiment punched out with nestabilities and used pop dot. Back side of circle is stamped with a present. Made the suspension circle . Made the black and AA strip, ran through cuttle bug with distressed lines folder. Sponged on AA. Stitched around the edges. Added the blue feather and fibers.

This is incredible. So many wonderful things about it. I love the feather. Great addition. I can't believe it matches. Lovely coloring. I really like the suspension spinner piece. That is awesome. Your stitching is really great. I cannot sew straight on a card at all. This is wonderful. So much work went into this card. Great job...
