I thought I'd have a play with Picture Perfect as its been a while since I played with this set and I thought it would go well with the new Avant-Garden which is a FREE set during Sale-A-Bration - just in case you didn't know!
As I'm sure most of us are - I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest to give this card a vintage feel.
I used our Watercolour Paper on a background card of Island Indigo card stock. I wanted the heavy feel of the watercolour paper even though I ended up not doing any watercolouring in fact.
The background used stamps from the Avant-Garden set and one from Best Birds in Pear Pizazz, Island Indigo and Crumb Cake inks.
The flowers were coloured in using our Watercolour Pencils and a touch of Wink of Stella on them afterwards.
The bird was stamped in Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Island Indigo and then I went over him again with the third stamp in Versamark and used our Copper Embossing Powder to give him a sheen. A touch of our Copper Metallic Thread finished off the bottom sentiment.
The challenge over at Creative Inspirations this week is flowers so I'm going to add this one to their challenge.
As usual if you are in the UK or parts of Europe all supplies can be purchased via my store - click on the logo below.
