Fab Friday Challenge 83

This is the sketch at Fab Friday this week.

I first thought no worries I can use that sketch but it became quite a challenge to fit it all on a card! I started with the flower stamp by Alota Stamps which I coloured with a wet brush then sprinkled Brushos on the wet areas. A little moving of the colour with a small paintbrush achieved the look I wanted. The Tim Holtz crazy bird had been waiting to be used for a little while, he had been stamped on some card that was sprayed with Dylusions then die cut and a gold embossed bow tie added. The background was made by spraying some Dylusions on paper then stamping the dots and embossing with white EP. The little banners and the large square were cut using MFT Blueprint #8.
The sentiment is by 'Timeless Images' another stamp company gone to the wall:( Hmm I have just realised the words are rather hard to read on the scanned image...they say "Happy are those who see beauty in hidden spots where others see nothing".
