I love it when I have some creative time for myself and things come together. I started this card with the sketch from Mojo Monday and three sets of London stamps from Artistic Outpost (London Elements, London Underground, and Loverly London). I wanted something eyecatching for my background. When I found this piece of copper, I decided to use one of my favorite techniques of embossing the metal and highlighting it with Staz-on ink. I stamped the images on white cardstock and cut them into the circle shapes. The bird is popped up using a foam dot.I am entering this card into several challenges. The Artistic Outpost monthly challenge is anything goes. Simon Says Stamp and Show has metal-ology as its theme. Three Muses has the theme of time to time. Fashionable Stamping wants to see a bird. Frilly & Funkie has the theme layer it on and share a word (London).

So very cool!
Love your choice of layers for this - the faded beauty of the circles really work against the metallic background (and if it's London there HAS to be a pigeon!!) Thanks for joining us at Frilly and Funkie, hugs Jenny x
Fabulous creation Barbara. I can understand why you like this technique! Bravo and tank you for joining us at FSC!
Sensational piece of work, Barbara! That copper BG is just too wonderful. And I relaly love how you cut the focal pieces in circles. Sometimes I wonder what to do with the AO images and I really like this approach. So great to have you joining in the fun with us again this time at Frilly and Funkie!
Hugs,
