Sweet little birds

'Sweet little birds' is the name of the printed circles I cut out from some free paper with Making Cards. I used a piece of the blue paper to stamp on to with the Papermania Urban stamp from the bird print set, colouring with copics - I also went over the birds on the printed circles with a copic. All edges were distressed with tea dye and stormy sky DIs as was the piece of blue paper embossed with my creative expressions crackle embossing folder.

The embossing is for:
