To begin I created a background by smooshing each of the distress oxides, mustard seed, spiced marmalade and candied apple, individually onto my glass mat and spritzed lightly with water. I then dipped the piece of card into the ink and allowed each layer to dry before adding the next.
Next I left the alphabet stamps on the backing acetate and placed them stamp side up on a flat surface. I inked them with candied apple distress oxide and randomly placed part of the card over them.
Then I stamped the larger telephone pole stamp slightly down from the centre of the card.
As I wanted the pole to touch the bottom of the card, I turned the stamp round,ined it up with the stamped image and just inked the pole. I then stamped this.
Next I used a black micron pen to extend the wires out to the edge of the piece of card.
Then I stamped the individual magpie several times so that it was sitting on the wires.
I added the verse between the lines. Then used 2nd and 3rdgeneration stamping to add it around the image.
Next I blended candied apple distress oxide around the edges of the piece.
I then added white posca pen to the bellies of the magpies.
Finally I glued it to a 5 x 7 card blank.
After I had finished this one I decided to repeat it, but using different colours.
For the first one I used spun sugar, seedless preserve andpicked raspberry distress oxide.
For the final one I used faded jeans, tumbled glass and salty ocean distress oxide. I also added some squeezed lemonade distress spritz to this one.
Products used:
