Finally..... had chance to play with the Minuet Bird stamp from Stampendous - so well mounted and deeply etched and love the fact the image has been placed on the back so you know exactly where to stamp the image ... no guesswork, always a good thing! also a chance to crack out the gilding flakes - knowing in advance I will end up with gold finger tips but so love the effects!
I have coloured the bird with my Promarkers but rubbed some dark pink chalk over the music score to highlight it. After tearing round the edges of the image I used Scatter Straw Holtz Distress Ink to vintage the edges.
Mounted on papers I had in my stock drawer I then applied some Cosmic Shimmer Flake & glitter glue onto a piece of deep burgundy card of which I had cut with the Memory Box Cherish Border Die. Golden Jewels Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flake was then rubber over the glues and the residue gently but firmly rubbed away. This was then applied at a jaunty angle with some stock ribbon layered over it - Before applying the ribbon 3mm red line sticky tape was placed down the back enabling me to pleat the ribbon as it was applied to the die cut border.
Embellished with a Memory Box Fern leaf die and some autumn flowers and buttons from Woodware. Some simple 3mm pearls from Creative Expressions in opposite corners completed the design.
