Les Oiseaux

Hi Bloggers.

We're going a bit French and very glittery today with a card from the D-Lites Pick of the Week.

I popped an A4 Self Adhesive Sheet onto an A4 piece of card and trimmed it to be 5 3/4" square (I use the leftover pieces for die cutting). I peeled the backing off the self adhesive sheet. I dusted the Squared Mask lightly with my anti-static bag and added to the adhesive. I sprinkled some Perrywinkle Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter all over the area and really rubbed it into the adhesive. I tapped off the excess and made sure I got as much glitter off the mask as possible. I peeled the mask off the adhesive and then sprinkled some Turquiose Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter over the area. Again, I really rubbed the glitter into the adhesive. It's a good idea to keep rubbing over the surface for a few minutes - the more you rub, the less it will shed.

I inked up the flower border which was on the Foliage Clear Stamp Set that was on the shows, with Perfect Medium. I added Cosmic Shimmer Black Detail Embossing Powder and heat set carefully making sure I didn't heat too long in one place - the self adhesive sheet would wrinkle. I stamped a section of the flower border again to extend the design the full width of the background.

I stamped a little bird from the Creative Expressions Birds Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Black Detail Powder. I cut the Spellbinders Birdcage 2 Die D-Lite out of Silver card and glued it over the stamped bird using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Birds Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I think I cut it out with a Matting Basics Die but can't check which one as I don't have the card, sorry. I inked through the die with Stormy Sky Distress Ink.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
