Dynamic Duos #4 - Vintage Bird

Hi there,
This week's challenge at Dynamic Duos is to use a Monochromatic palette of Bashful Blue and Marina Mist with Neutrals. I used my new Elegant Bird Die and "Adorning Accents" Edgelits to make a Vintage card.   Before I embossed the background I inked up the embossing folder, I love how it turned out, really looks like wallpaper.  I punched out the Blossom shapes from some Crinoline for the flower and coloured them with Bashful Blue and Marina Mist re-inkers.  When the pieces were dry I scrunched them up and formed my flower, another first using the Crinoline and I love it. The Ribbon Seam Binding was sprayed with water and scrunched up into a ball and put in a plastic bag for a while and then unravelled and air dried, worked really well.  I did lots of sponging with Crumb Cake ink and finished my card with some pearls.
