Do you ever make a mistake and think, "I won't do that again." And then you do it again. Well, I can't tell you how many times I have put Stickles onto Colorbox Chalk ink only to find that it bleeds. I love my Chalk inks, and I love my Stickles. I just need to remember they don't work together. In the case of this card, it even turned my brown ink a bit red. Oops! The good news is that I have few red birds as accents which match my reddish brown limbs.
To make this card, I decided to use the Bird Huddle (D1285), but I wanted to have more birds than the ones on the stamp. I stamped the image twice onto patterned paper from the Dewfrost collection. The only problem with that tactic was that I had a distinct line where the two bird huddle rectangles met. Enter the brown ribbon.... Isn't it amazing how many things you can cover with ribbon? I then colored the outlined birds with a red Prismacolor pencil and and added some Diamond jewels and Diamond Stickles onto the branches for extra bling. To finish the card, I layered more pieces of Dewfrost paper and placed everything onto a Kraft notecard.
Okay, one more time...
Note to self. Colorbox Chalk + Stickles = bleeding. Let me see if I can remember that next time.
Its not actually my practice to post comments, but I thought I would say that this was really cool.
