Just Us Girls #412 - Photo Week

Hello everyone!  This week at Just Us Girls, Ina chose this great photo for our photo week challenge.
 
Here's what I saw in the photo and how it translates into my card.  I chose this jungle stencil and used two Distress Oxide inks with it.  While it was still wet, I covered it with clear embossing powder.  It really intensified the colors.  Then I die cut the bird and colored it with Zig markers to mimic the parrot in the photo.  The bird is placed on a white border on which I stamped the sentiment, heart, and sequins.
 
You can see more from the JUGs design team and our September guest on the JUGs blog.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

What a creative take on the challenge. Love your sponged background over the stencil, and that sweet little birdie. So pretty.

Great design here, and I love that you used the clear embossing powder over the Oxides. I have never thought of that and will be trying it. Wonderful take on the challenge photo. Love that little colorful bird too!
