Good evening all. I know, I know. I said I wasn't going to make anymore cards for a while but I couldn't help it. It really gets in your blood, you know?
Anyway, I practiced a little more stitching but only down the sides. I used my new nestie across the top of the stamped image. Uh...oh, that bird? It's a decoration that you put in potted plants! Haha! I had to tone down the color a bit with some distressing ink otherwise it would have been way too bright. I made the stick pin, of course, but the bead and all pearls had to be dyed with reinkers because I had every color but a soft pink. I used the terra cotta from this pack of inks called "Posh Rainbow Ink". I found them at Michaels. I covered the white pearls in the ink straight out of the bottle and let them sit for a while. Then I wiped off the excess and got the color that you see in the photo. So I guess it's more accurate to say I "stained" the pearls rather then dyed them. And lastly, everything was distressed with distressing ink.
Well, that's about it. Hope you like and TFL!
