Welcome
I had fun making this card - and I was very happy with the result!!
It started with the centre panel, a snippet from my desk that I had sponged, so long ago I cannot remember the colours/inks I used! I stamped the bird from
using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I then coloured the 'comb' and feet with an orange pen, and the bobbles on the tail with gold

The sentiment was split and gold embossed on two snippets of purple card, cut into banners and mounted on gold, as was the focal panel and main panel. All edges of the coloured panels and banners were wiped with Chipped Sapphire Distress ink.

The background was a 'mop up' piece of card, splattered with gold paint.

The inside was finished with some sparkly Washi tape

Too much fun! There's a dance they do here in Texas (and probably other places too) that's called the Funky Chicken! LOL! This is what I thought of seeing this cute card. LOVE the different sponged colors.

ReplyDeleteThat cute, quirky bird is such fun and looks well against that background that you found. I often fine a background and wonder what colours i used on it - this was a lucky find and has made for a great card.
