Feathered Friends

First of all today I would like to say welcome to my little corner to my newest followers, I hope you like what you see here and keep coming back.

The challenge this month at Stamping Sensations is
Wings and Things and a Touch of  Vintage, and I thought this stamp from Inkylicious which I have just bought would fit the bill. I stamped the image with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and water coloured it using distress Markers and a water brush. The stamped image, mount and frame were die cut with Spellbinders Marvellous Squares. The background  paper is a freebie from a magazine, and all the shading is with Distress inks, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo. To finish the card I added some feathers and paper flowers from my stash, fixed with a little diamond glaze and the brads in the flower centres.

Thank you for visiting and for your comments which I love to read and really appreciate.

    the feathers & flowers look lovely with the way they complement the image & I love the way the colour of your corners on that image mat are echoed by your pale flower & the pattern in one of the feathers.

    Hi Jean, this is beautiful! I love the brown tones in the distress inks and they look great with this stamp. Where did you get those feathers? They are gorgeous!
