Blue Tit

 
   There is a new challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and More, the theme of which is 'something old, something new'. I hope you will be able to join us.
   I have chosen to use an old favourite stamp, Jayne Netley Mayhew's blue tit from Joanna Sheen, but I have tried a new technique - that of colouring using water colour pencils. After colouring and allowing the image to dry I cut it out and shaped it slightly.
   I matted and layered paper printed using a House Mouse CD ROM (another old favourite) from Joanna Sheen onto pink mirri card and white card. I then matted white card onto pink mirri card, both cut out using Spellbinders dies, attached it to the card and then fixed the image to the circle using glue gel.
   I used a die from a new set of Tattered Lace dies called starlight circle to cut two floral pieces from a hint of silver centura pearl card. I coloured these pieces using Promarkers before fixing them to the edge of the circle. Finally using Tattered Lace dies I cut a sentiment from the pink mirri card.
