Love Birds

birds

This is my third attempt at this tag as I kept getting inks fingers prints on it until I used clear embossing powder to seal the ink. It is for the ukstampers challenge B for birds tag.
Techniques used are masking, selective inking and acetate overlay. The birds and centre are stamped under the overlay and stamped again and cut out then glued to the top of the overlay giving a 3d effect.

Inks: Adirondack denim with clear embossing powder
Card: white card, acetate
Stamps: Kodoma: Asian calligraphy love, Chinese border and Blue willow, Non-sequitur Cranes sheet.
Other: eyelet
