Gilded Flight

I have been inspired to create this card after watching several of Christine Stokes You Tube 

videos, see here. 

I firstly used an embossing folder to create my background. I swiped the embossed side of the EF with DO's Black Soot, I then mixed a bit of Brusho's Turquoise with water and painted the whole background. 

After drying the panel, I then brushed some Pearl White Perfect Pearls over the panel and finished it off with some Simon Hurley Gold Lunar Paste that I applied using my finger. 

Once I die cut the section I wanted to use, I did have to run it through my Cuttlebug in the EF again to re-emboss the image as it flattened a bit when I die cut my feature panel.

I then used a bit of the left-over card, selected the part I wanted to use and stamped my bird using my Misti, I die cut the bird and then re-stamped the bird to redefine the outline. I only put the Pearl White Perfect Pearls on the bird and not the Gold Luna Paste so that it didn't blend into the background and then mounted all the layers. I added a sentiment & sub-sentiment that I had laying around to finish it off.

I am adding my card to the following challenges...

I created today's background by firstly stamping a background stamp and then embossing it with white EP. I then used Brusho's to create the watercolour background. I die cut my foliage and bird and sentiment and then adhered my layers.

I haven't posted for a while...life gets in the way. I created a few stenciled backgrounds a few weeks ago with Distress Oxides and this is the first card from that stash. I felt it was a male orientated card so I kept it simple. I layered my panel onto black card, thenI inked up some scrap card with DO Blueprint Sketch and die cut my sentiment twice. I adhered them together and attached them to my panel and added a sub-sentiment below. I did add a bit of Perfect Peals to the sentiment to give it a bit of a lift.
