A technique card

Sorry I've been MIA, it's been a busy week! I wanted to share I card I did a couple of weeks back for a contest at Scrapshotz. We had to use a technique on this card, so being an indecisive person I had to choose a few to put on here. I used Tim Holtz crackle paint and then inked in the cracks for the stamped image mat. The image is embossed with Tim Holtz Distress embossing powder. I used 3 different kinds to get the color variation on the image. Finally I used Tim Holtz Distress inks to blend the background for the sky and the ground. The little bird was actually cut from an American Crafts package. I inked and then used Stickles on him.
