Twisted Kingfisher

Good morning, we still have snow lingering and temperatures are due to drop again today so I'm staying nice and warm indoors

Todays card is using a technique I haven't used for a long while, while doing some reorganizing I decided to pull out my crafting CDs. The one I have used today has some gorgeous British wildlife art work from the late Pollyanna Pickering.

The image is a twisted decoupage, the picture is printed out in five different layers which are all adhered on top of each other with foam squares giving the picture a twisted look. 

You can see it in more detail here:

After I had made up this topper, I matted a black 8x8in card base with blue card matching it as near as possible to the blue printed around the topper. I then added some coordinating digital paper. I matted my twisted topper and a smaller topper of the same image with black card and arranged these on to my card base gluing them in place with wet glue.

I didn't have card candy to coordinate with my card so I colored some white pieces with alcohol markers. A die cut 'happy birthday' finished my design.

this card is for a man however I think the stunning image could be used for either a masculine or feminine card depending on how it is embellished.

Thanks for stopping by and as always if you like what you see please leave some love in the comments
