Papertrey Ink Thank You card

I made this card for one of the current Papertrey Ink challenges. The background was the result of a strange experiment where I tried to liquify my Distress Crayons. It was time consuming but yielded some interesting textures!

I've colored the bird several ways before, and I think my favorite (so far) is using Copics and a bit of colored pencils, which is what I did here. I also used a black Micron pen to draw in the eye instead of using the small die cut. For the sentiment, I stamped in Distress Oxide Frayed Burlap and then heat embossed with clear powder.

Materials used for this project:
Ink to Paper Feathered Friend #4 die 

Ink to Paper Love to Layer: Notched dies

Papertrey Ink Journaling Accessories stamp (for the dotted lines on the frame)

Papertrey Ink Think Big Favorites #1 stamp

Copic markers B23, B97, N6

Castle Arts colored pencils Marigold, Ultramarine Light, Sky Blue, Warm Gray Light

Micron 05 black pen

Distress Oxide ink pad in Frayed Burlap
