Three Layers, Two Magpies and One Telephone Pole

The current prompt over on Try it On Tuesday is Countdown 3-2-1 so here is a card with 3 layers, two magpies and one telephone pole using the magpie stamps from Timestamp Creations!

Add Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Oxides to the Bijou Backdrop stamp with foam tools and add to a small piece of Clarity stencil card. Add the small Magpie stamp from Timestamp Creations onto the background in Jet Black archival ink. Add the second Magpie likewise. Extend the wires to the edge of the background using a ruler and black micron pens.

I didn't realise until this stage that there was no memory card in my camera!  

Die cut a mat from black card using the 3.75" nested square picot die and mat up the topper.

Add a strip of BOW-WOB paper coloured with Distress Oxides across the front of a 5" x 5" white card blank.

Add the topper.

To finish, mask off sections of the Magpie verse, ink up, remove the masking and add 'Two for joy' below the image in the same black ink as before.
