Usually I don't stamp Monday mornings. It's cleaning day! But after reading the challenge I had to make a card before starting my chores. This is just too much fun.
I was sad to cover up most of my background. But I have another sheet.
I used the bird/leaves cuttlebug folder. I brayered it with Artichoke ink and embossed an Old Olive piece of cardstock.
Then I added white gel pen highlights and paper pierced those freehand. The corners were punched with the ticket corner and the edges were sponged with Always Artichoke.
The bird from Always was stamped in Chocolate Chip craft ink on Soft Sky paper. The detail inside the bird were highlighted with the gel pen.
Now I better get cracking on my chores. I will have to check your entries later. I know they are all fantastic!
