No Words...

...a swap I'm in hosted by Txmommystamps over on SCS! The swap challenge was to make a card with no greeting or sentiment on it. I loved this idea as I sometimes receive cards from swaps and wish they had a different sentiment or greeting to give to someone. So I thought this idea was great and joined. Lately I've been trying to do something different than from what I'm use to...so I've been trying out masking and/or layering stamps that aren't necessarily from a set. So I came up with this card! I love how it all came together! I used Basic Birds from TAC and Out On A Limb by Paper Trey...don't these look fabby together? I have recently gotten an obsession with purchasing bird and/or owl stamps...and this is one set I'm sure happy I bought! The bird normally is not solid...it's an outlined stamp...but I wanted to give it a "silhouette" look so I colored him in with my black prismacolor marker and added a "highlight" on it's chest, belly, and tail feathers to accentuate it. Whatcha think?

Supplies:
CS: C2Cocoa, TThyme, White non SU, & DP unknown vendor
Ink: BBlack, CChip, TThyme, & SSun
Stamps: Basic Birds TAC & Out On A Limb Paper Trey
Embellishments: ribbon from SU's Beachfront pallet
Others: corner punch (for scallops) and Crop-A-Dile
