The birds were stamped with different colours Archival Ink and cut out. I stamped them again with Jet Black on the background, since I didn't want to cut out the little feet and since it gives a cool shadow effect. The birds were adhered with foam dots.
I used Tim Holtz Remnant rubs to give the birds something to say and draw speech bubbles around the rub-ons with a pen. The Sizzix 3-D Accordion Flip is very easy to assemble and I thought the format worked really well for my chatty little birds.
Here's what the accordion looks like from the top.
I also made a card:
The carved birds look great on lots of different projects, and here I made a grungy card, compared to the bright accordion. An old book page was aged with walnut ink crystals and I stamped the bird on top with Archival Jet Black ink. The background was done by applying Viva 3-D Stamp Paint with a palette knife through a brick stencil. The sentiment comes from the Bright Blossoms Wordstrip. The branch was die cut from grungeboard with the Bird Branch die, covered with molding paste and when dry, painted with Distress Paints.
I made this fragment for another project, but never used it. Art De Fleur Montage paper was glued to the fragment with Glossy Accents and the edges were trimmed off. Here you can also see how the Viva paint shimmers.
Thank you for looking!!
Happy Stamping!!
