I picked three birds and some accessories, stamped them in Archival Jet Black on Ranger Distress Watercolor Paper, and colored them with Distress Markers and a water brush. When dry, I cut the various pieces out with the matching die sets, layered the birds (using foam dots and Glossy Accents) and placed them on a card front. Once I was satisfied with the layout, I created a “floor” for the birds with a water brush and “Cracked Pistachio” Distress Ink, stamped a sentiment and added some hearts. Final touch: Glossy Accents in the lenses of the glasses on the middle bird and on the three hearts…
