Tim Birds - a set of ATCs

A step by step styled process video showing me create a set of ATCs using a Tim Holtz bird die and embossing folder.

I start by creating two pieces of colored cardstock using Distress Oxide inks. I then cut the blue sheet with the bird die and the brown sheet with a paper cutter. After cutting I emboss the brown pieces using the embossing folder. I add some Distress Ink to each piece - the background and the birds and then create a backing sheet using a book page stamp. I color the sheet using Distress Ink. I then sew the backing and background together, make a little nest out of natural twine and mount the bird on top using foam tape. I finish the cards with a little ticket and word sticker.

Thank you for watching!
