I had such fun with this challenge we have for you at Sweet Stampin this week - Make Your Own Background. I've been spending a lot of time playing with my Tim Hotlz inks - inspired by his Facebook Lives showcasing his products and his mantra of just go and create.
I started off this piece by clear embossing a stamp from Stampin Up Botanical Prints together with the butterfly from the Bliss set. This allows the images to show through once you add your inks. I used a mixture of Tim Holtz inks to get the colours I wanted. I added the word Friend from the Botanical Prints set.
The bird is a new die from Tim Holtz called Feathered Friends. I kept him simple as there is enough going on in the background. I layered him on to some Circle Thinlets from SU which I had in my stash. I added some twine under his feet. The sentiment comes from SU Special Someone and I added some antique brads.
