For the Birds- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Hello and Welcome.

It's time for another card for the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge.

Our theme this month is 'bird'.

I am using these great stamps from Frog's Whiskers Ink of the cranes.

I love the silhouettes they create.

So onto my card.

I die-cut a piece of heavy white cardstock using a die from MFT then I inked up the background with Distress Oxide inks and a piece of acetate. I rubbed the ink onto the acetate, sprayed with water and pressed onto my paper.

Next, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the bird silhouettes with black Memento ink.

After I was done inking my bird background with the DOX, there was still quite a bit of ink left on my sheet of acetate that I didn't want to go to waste, so I grabbed an extra piece of cardstock and pressed the ink onto that to create a watery looking piece to mount the birds onto.

In the top corner and on one side you will see where I did a bit of stenciling to add some interest.  I just used a baby wipe and rubbed over the ink already on my paper.  It lifted the ink in some places and deposited it in others and I was left with the impressions.  

I hope you will come and play along with us.

Thanks for coming by and taking a look.
