I've always have fun with that credit card swiping technique and I had seen it recently on a card that Karen (k dunbrook) did where she used Distress Oxides. This was fun and I love how the DOs layer so well...you can just keep adding ink on top of ink and it doesn't get muddy. After I did the swiping bit I added a bit of stamping with a tiny script stamp and also used a dotted stencil to add more color. I then sponged the birds using a new stencil I got last week (I must have read Lisa's mind)...That's about it. I really like how it turned out.

Terrific BG with the DOs Polly. I love playing with them too. Those birds are a great stencil for that wonderful BG. Thank you so much for playing along and bringing this beauty to the challenge gallery.

Oh Polly this is just LOVELY! Your color palette is so cheery and springy...it just warms the heart! Love your background beginnings and your lovely stamping and sponging to finish. The little birdies are the perfect ending stenciling, and I LOVE the white finishing on your die-cut word sentiment!
