Back to our Diecuts/or Stencils challenge this week and I've used another favourite of mine which is the bird die cut from Tim Holtz. He does seem to feature a lot in my tags as he's such a perfect size. The feather and eggs are just perfect to use with the bird and they are part of Tim Holtz Funky Nature set.
I used Distress Oxides in Speckled Egg and Crushed Olive with a touch of Salvaged Patina by directly adding the inks to the card stock. I then used some Texture Paste in Delicate Blue by Cosmic Shimmer. I have another one of these pastes but it's all gone hard so I'm hoping some hot water may just revive it.
I layered the bird onto some lace and a real stick to give a bit of dimension and interest with the eggs just behind. I added some background stamping in an old script stamp and some pen doodling around the edges.
I'm adding this into the following:
