There's a themed inspiration challenge this week at TGIF Challenges: "Walk on the Wild Side". We are challenged to create with wild animals, animal prints, leaves, etc. As I started working on this challenge, I discovered that all of my wild animals stamp sets are retired. All but my birds. I pulled my Free as a Bird stamp set (#149468) off the shelf to use. I love this stamp set:
The Basic White Thick card base was layered with a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Hand-Penned designer series paper (#155499). The bird image was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. Colors used on the image were taken from the paper: Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya, Mint Macaron, So Saffron, with Soft Suede added for the branch. The Color Lifter was used on the birds' heads to lighten the color a bit. The greeting was stamped in Misty Moonlight.
The bird image was adhered to a 4-1/2" x 3-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock. This piece was covered with Misty Moonlight tinted matte finish Embossing Paste (#141979) applied with the fat spatula shaped Palette Knife (#142808, set of 3) in a random pattern. (My little walk on the wild side on this card!)
A piece of white faux linen from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack (#153620) with ends tied with Linen Thread (#104199) and three Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) complete the card.

Have a wonderful week! In the USA we have a three day weekend coming up--Enjoy!
