I had heaps of fun with DI stains with this card. The colours are vibrant Wild Honey, Fire Brick Red and Aged Mahogany.
The timepiece is cut out from a paper sheet, inked and covered in modge podge. It is then layered onto a circle of black cardstock which has been edged in 2 embossing powders ….I did this just to see what would happen and the effect is stunning… gold first, then chocolate sparkle on top. The choc sparkle melts into the gold one! Beautiful.
The corner piece is inked in the same colours scrunched, overstamped with an ornament stamp and highlighted with a gold leaf pen just gently swiped over the creases.
The checker bits are just cut out of a papers sheet and edged in Aged Mahogany to blend in.
The stamps are TH birds and Faith Bird from Stamp It, and just inked in black ink. There is some script stamping over the background in wild honey. Oh, and the wings are from a dance sheet that I got from Artistic Stamper ( and designed by ArtyJen).
Enjoy!

Sorry, typo above.."Mod Podge" ~ a dimensional magic product that adds depth to an image…can be cracked if you like, but I left it smooth this time…looks like glass. I guess it is a shortcut version of using UTEE???
