Bird Frame CAS cards with Carmen's Veranda

Hello Everyone,

I made two more cards with the Bird Frame Stamp from Carmen's Veranda Stamps.  

 Materials:

Stamp: Bird Square from Carmen's Veranda Stamps

Ink: Black; Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, and Vintage Photo Distress ink

Paper: Mixed Media pad from Strathmore

CS: Blush Blossom, Cool Caribbean from Stampin' Up;  Cream; White

Bakers Twine

 Instructions:

• Make card from white or cream CS 
• On mixed media paper, spray a very small amount of water
• Ink the stamp with Tumbled Glass or Spun Sugar distress ink and stamp into the water on the mixed media paper
• Heat dry the paper--make sure it is very dry before proceeding--I had to blot a little with a rag
• Ink the stamp again with black ink and stamp directly over the fist stamping
• Distress with Distress inks
• Add the Baker's Twine and add to card base

See the other two cards made with this stamp here.  I really like the look of the top edge of the mixed media paper torn from the pad.  Adds a nice detail.
