Today I got to play with the Pleasant Pheasants stamp set. I have had a card taking shape in my head for the last week or so and today I was able to bring it to fruition.
I started by stamping the pheasants with Versamark onto an oversized matte of Tranquil Tide. I heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and once it had cooled, I proceeded to tear the edge around the birds. I then used a stitched die from the Stitched Labels Framelits to add a line of stitching on the left side.
Next, I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink with the Buffalo Check stamp to create a matte on Tranquil Tide. I stamped three times to get a good strong pattern.
After trimming the matte down to size, I used a Gold Metallic Sharpie to draw lines extra lines on the plaid to jazz it up a notch.
An old brayer was used to apply Versamark to the Woodland Embossing Folder and, after using the Embossing Buddy on a 4.75 x 6" card front, I ran it through the Big Shot. Next, I heat embossed the card front using Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.
I tied a length of the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the plaid matte and then adhered the pheasant matte using both liquid adhesive (on the stitched side) and Dimensionals. The plaid matte was then adhered to the card front using Dimensionals.
The sentiment from the Sea of Textures stamp set was stamped with Versamark on Basic Black and then heat embossed in gold. It was adhered using Dimensionals.
Inside the card, a Thick Very Vanilla matte was stamped with the trees from Winter Woods and embossed with gold.
