A Little Birdie

The Paperartsy challenge is asking for transparent art. I've been watching the lovely DT posts, but since I just couldn't find my acetate I decided to start with my favourite transparent (or more like transluscent) material: vellum. Especially heat embossed vellum... I'm also joining in the WOW embossing powders challenge (anything goes).

I heat embossed the bird from ESN15 onto vellum with WOW Verdigris and fussy cut it. The details of the music on the stamp got lost, but gave good stripes under which I placed narrow strips of foam tape. I blended the background with Distress Inks in colours inspired by the embossing powder and a TH stencil. Some thread and bling, and this is done :)
