Welcome
Once again it is time for a new Challenge at Word Art Wednesday, and this time our wonderful sponsor is Stix 2 Anything, who are providing the winner with an adhesives bundle.
Having won one myself, I can sat their product is amazing!
I created the background for this card with some Iridescent Medium with yellow paint mixed in - and found I had the most gorgeous gold paste. This was applied through an old (Layers of Color) stencil directly onto the Kraft card base.
I had cut the printed verse out with a stitched rectangle (M/B), mounted that onto a snippet of Kraft card and distressed the edges before mounting it with foam tape.
These wee birds were stamped with Espresso ink onto cream cardstock and fussy cut out, and I popped them onto the card with some Stix 2 Anything clear foam tape
In this photo you can see the light showing through the mounting tape.
I also stamped some more of the wee birds with Versamark ink onto the background.
The bird stamps are also from Layers of Color, unfortunately the company is now defunct.
The inside was finished with some gold washi tape.

This looks amazing Maxine, what a great technique
I love it!! One of my favorite passages of scripture...memorized it as a young girl and still hold it close to my heart!! Thanks for playing along with our "things with tails" challenge over Cardz 4 Guyz!!
It really looks rich with that layer of swirls! Beautiful! Hugs, Gerrina
Beautiful card, Maxine. The birds are really cute and I love how you placed them over the tree. Hugs, my friend.
Maxine, this is so pretty. The little birds are sweet and that background turned out awesome!

Just beautiful Maxine. Lovely card and what an awesome sentiment.
The paste looks so pretty and what a great idea to mix the medium with the yellow paint. Such a beautiful card Maxine x.
Adorable colours on your card and that image is gorgeous...xx
A lovely scripture for this card Maxine. I always like to see something cut with a die that has stitching on it and it works well here.
Love the gold swirls, how fortunate your mixing resulted in something so beautiful as those swirls. The tiny birds are exquisite, I love how you fussy cut some and stuck them on. I hadn't realised the others were stamped in Versamark, must try that on Kraft in future.
a really pretty card.
Blessings, Neet xx
Wow, I've never thought about mixing paint with embossing paste before. Although I know people would put some alcohol ink in it. You did a get a gorgeous shade of gold and it looks amazing on the kraft card base! Your little birds are so cute, perfect for this scripture Maxine. I just love this one! Hugs, Brenda
Beautiful card Maxine, complements thst verse wonderfully well.
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz. X
