Textured Bird Gift Wrap by Farida Degner

Hi everyone, Farida here.

I always like to decorate small gifts a little bit to make it more interesting.  Today I made a wrap for a chocolate bar. 
 
 
First I took an A5 sized paper piece and started by stamping my focal point, the bird from the Textured Birds stamp set. 
 
 
To give some visual dimension to this art work I stamped the bird a second time on another piece of paper, fussy cut and laid it over my first stamped bird. With this protection I started stamping some Feathers for the background. 
 
 
For colouring in the bird and the feathers I started by using my alcohol markers and just did quick colouring with just a bit of shading. Afterwards I switched to pencils to give the images a more detailed and textured look.
 
 
For my focal point bird I decided to colour in a shadow around him, so he can stand out a bit more. Et voilà!  Just needed to wrap it around the chocolate bar and tie a bow.

Hopefully I could inspire you with my project and we will see each other next time. 

Bye Farida

Atc´s Textured Birds by Verónica

Hi everyone, Verónica is here. Today I come with a colorful and fun series of Atc´s that I have made with the beautiful  Textured Birds set .  Let's go step by step, so you can cheer up and make your own.I hope you enjoy it and you like it, it is done with great affection. We cut watercolor paper that measures 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, if you prefer in centimeters 8,9cm by 6,4 cm approximately. Now we create the backgrounds by coloring with watercolors, pigments, or inks. I have used pigments dissolved in water, to give it a watercolor effect. When they are ready and dry we apply textured paste with some stencils that we like. In my case Distress Textured Paste (crackle). We can use the embossing gun to speed up the process or let it dry. We continue, we are going to stamp these adorable and cute little birds with a waterproof ink. Comes one of the most relaxing and fun parts, the coloring. You can use what you have or what you are used to
