This card was created using the Dabbed Shimmers technique from the Feb/Mar '10 issue of the Technique Junkie newsletter. There are certain techniques that are almost impossible to capture the beauty of in a scan - especially shimmery backgrounds like this. I'm so glad I thought to pull it out and photograph it and submit it for the Theme Thursday challenge. You can really see how shimmery that background is. Such a fun technique!
All of the stamps are from the Birds of a Feather collection from Artistic Outpost. This is a fantastic set for creating Springtime art!
Wow this is delightful.
ReplyDeleteLovely bird.

ReplyDeleteLovely card, Shelly. I like it almost as much as I liked it when I saw it on the Technique Junkies website. You make nice backgrounds.
