Winged Things


The  new challenge today at Crafty Cardmakers, is hosted by Marie.
This time we are asking you to show us 'Things with Wings.

The D.T. have made some fantastic examples, so please pop over to see what we have all been making and get all the details.


We have two sponsors this time, both offering generous store vouchers.

                                                  The Stampman


                                                           and
             
                                          Di's Digi Downloads







 This time I decided to make a Tag.
I used Tim Holtz die for the bird cage, trimmed it with buttons.
The bird and background stamping are Pink Paislee stamps.
The ticket is a Stampers Anonymous stamp.
All the colours used are Distress inks, Spun Sugar, Peacock Feathers and Peeled Paint.
It doesn't show so well but I highlighted areas and edges with Shabby Pink embossing powder from Stampendous.

Other challenges I will be entering  are-
Anything But a Card- The very first challenge here is Anything Goes.
The Crafty Pad  - Challenge186 Anything but a square
Moving Along with the Times  -Flying High
