"Things With Wings"
The background is inked with my favourite subtle distress colours and overstamped using lots of different nature stamps and a grey archival ink.
"UTEE Bird"
The vintage graphics bird and butterfly are dipped in clear, melted UTEE before adhering to the card with Pinflair glue gel.
"Honeycomb die cut"
The honeycomb frame is cut (using the new Tim Holtz die) from old cardboard packaging, sanded and stained with metallic distress stain. Inner pieces are added from spare pieces of the background stamped card.
"It's the Little Things that Make Life BIG"
That is so true!

This is a delight Maddy and the birdie looks fabulous with his coating of UTEE. And the subtle background stamping looks like an expensive DP. I recently purchased hat Timmy die but yet to crack open the packet.
