Thank you CAS Mix Up team for another great inspiration challenge! This challenge pushed me way out of my box with (almost) no die cutting! This one took a long time to create. I started with trying to do an ombre look with perfect pearls - epic fail, but salvaged a bird out of it. (see below) . Then somehow decided to go geometric and Distress Inks. I pulled out all my blues and started sponging actually brushing -much easier to get an even look. It then still sat on my desk forever, trying to decide what to put on it. I was going to go with wild flowers, but some how the Hipsters (TH) spoke to me. It ended up as a pretty cool masculine card.
I had the dies to cut out the head and the glasses and the tie. Glasses and tie are clear embossed. I may now make a few more of these in different colors and different Hipsters!! Sentiment inside...
Well thanks for looking. Your comments are truly appreciated!!
Oh yeah, here is the inlaid bird I salvaged from the ombre pearl ex...
