Winter Birds Tag

Well the weather here today is a bit of a surprise, grey, breezy and a little damp too.  Where did the Bank Holiday sunshine disappear to? I'm guessing this has influenced my tag!

I used a blend of Panpastels to create a pale background.  Then using a Crafter's Companion script stamp, I stamped across the tag.  For some reason the ink faded a little which added to the look I was wanting to create.

I'd purchased a couple of used stamps as a bundle, so decided to try them out.  The first was the birds I've used at the base of the stamp, the second is the "Winter Birds" which I stamped on a Panpastel off-cut and then mounted it on black cardstock and glued into position.  Finally I used black ink for some of the edges, to help the subtle colours to brighten.
