I made this for StacyÂ’s DTGD15JBgreendawn challenge. I love Tim HoltzÂ’s crazy birds, and using his distressed inks to sponge on these crazy colored backgrounds. I love how easy it is to blend the blueberry and orange colors with sponging. Thought IÂ’d give the embossing paste a try to create a shabby look and used a Heidi Swapp large rose stencil. That turned out not as easy to do as the Youtube video of Tim demonstrating it at CHA made it look ;) ThereÂ’s light stamping in the background from an old SU set with French script, and used Tim HoltzÂ’s chalk spray for the little white dots in the background. The craft cardstock I thought would be a nice calming contrast to the angst ridded bird and all the psychedelic colors ;)
This also meets these following challenges:

That TIM, always making amazing effects look easy...! I love your card, and I think your tag is gorgeous - love the blended colors and that goofy bird... they are going to better me one of these days, silly things! So fun to see them everywhere. Thank you so much for playing along with my challenge!
