Hello! I was trying to clean up my craft desk this morning, and I totally got some inspiration to make a card, and made an even bigger mess! How about that? Lol.
I used a very old, old background that I don’t exactly remember how I made. I think there is a technique called Floating Alcohol inks and that is what I did.
Anyhow, a stamping friend challenged us to use Partial Stamping on an old background and then make a card from this. Here is the inspiration video. I used a variety of stamps in black and orange ink. When it was finished, I cut the background down to ATC size and sponged the edges with brown distress ink.
I then paper pieced my Scribbly bird over top. So another half done project made into a card! I kind of like how it turned out. Mixed media in the focal point but CAS otherwise.
I’d love to enter Mod Squad Challenge - Birds, Cute Card Thursday Challenge - Wings, and Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes.
I hope that you will leave a comment and let me know how you are doing. It is a bit chilly and rainy today but it feels like a Saturday. We are getting into a better routine for cyber schooling and that helps. Have a good day!

Great card! Isn't it a joy to use some of those old things? Stay Safe!
Cool...love making a bigger mess. Such a good feeling when you are compelled to make something.
This is such a darling card. That background is stunning. Must pop over. Been away because Ive gotten involved in ATC swaps. Have a great weekend!
Wonderful bird design...a sketch type image which I like. And, looks great on that background.
Most gorgeous colours and amazing things to view,love this Heidi....happy Sunday and keep smiling.xxx
Your background looks great! Thanks for linking the inspiration video; such a simple technique that packs a huge punch!
This is such a cute little card, and I love how you created the background and then paper pieced the bird! The embossed panel shows it off beautifully! We're doing OK here just a few miles from where you are, and so very grateful for the days we have sunshine! That makes it a little easier to stay home when the sun's out! Take care and have a great week ahead.
A very sweet tweet.
