Last Sunday Featured Stamper was BeckyTE. She has an amazing gallery. Her coloring is jaw dropping gorgeous!!! I picked this card to case. It worked perfect for last weeks Weekend challenge as well.
I started out by stamping the bird from Touch of Nature in Black StazOn on a 2 3/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of watercolor paper.
I colored it in wiht More Mustard, Old Olive, Close to Cocoa and Really Rust classic ink and Aqua Painter.
Next I covered the entire image with my Versamarker and embossed the image with clear embossing powder. The swirl from Baroque Motifs was stamped in Blue Bayou . Then I first brayered Soft Sky over the entire image, then sponged the piece with Blue Bayou. I sponged a little More Mustard ink in the center and added more Blue Bayou. I added highlights with a white gel pen and distressed the edges with the Cutter Kit.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of sponged Old Olive cardstock folded in half. It is layered with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of sponged Really Rust cardstock followed by a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Fall Flower Designer paper. I distressed the edges and sponged it first with Soft Sky, then with Blue Bayou. Then I stamped Faux stitched lines with my Argyle stamp from All in a Row. Did you know that this set is retiring in Australia!!! I hope it won’t do the same here in July! I would be really sad about that. I also paper pierced the edges of the Designer paper and added a 1/4″ sponged Blue Bayou circle in each corner. The circles were topped off with white brads.
I inked up the leaves from Touch of Nature in Old Olive and stamped them in second generation on a 1 1/4″ circle of watercolor paper. The edges were sponged with Old Olive. Then it was layered on a sponged 1 3/8″ really Rust circle and finally on a sponged Old Olive scallop circle. Kind from Baroque Motifs was stamped in the center of the circle and the edges of that circle were paper pierced. Finally I added a Aged Copper Hardware piece to the top left of the scallop circle to tie Kraft Taffeta ribbon on it.

Love your card. How did you do the clear embossing on the entire section. I tried it but it was not an even coat and the more I tried the worst it got. I need some `clues`on this one.
