Well that's the phrase, but I LOVE birds. Hmmm, well, I can't think of another one, so it'll do. I did this card for the Caardvarks micro challenge (Happy Birthday Dude!), and for the sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You. I love the how it turned out. I used some paper I had aged myself. To make it I took regular cardstock and soaked it in some coffee on a cookie sheet. It had some coffee grinds in with it. I then drained the coffee off and left the grinds on the paper, and put it in the oven at a low temp. It baked the coffee grinds right onto the paper. When it was all dry I brushed off the remains of coffee and let it cool. I've had it for a while and haven't known what to use it on. I think it looks great on this card. The card foundation and back piece of brown scrap is Bazzill, and the patterned paper and dino are from Basic Grey(archaic collection). I also used a BG stamp(Ink splat)(it's great for a textured look with the VersaMark Pad) from QKD on the small pieces of paper.
