A 'Tissue' - no I don't have the flu!

Hi there Crafty Friends!

Over at Sisters of Snarky Stampers they have their

current challenge which is T for Tissue so

popping this tissue card over to their Gallery!

I had all intentions of getting out a colourful napkin

or to use a bit more tissue than what I landed up doing here.

(May yet get time to do just that)

but I saw a card similar on Pinterest Here so decided to case it.

When I found it again - 

 because I hadn't saved it I realized it was made

by one of my blog followers and she lives just

south of the border. Thanks Cathy for the inspiration.

You can find her card details at Cathys Card Spot.

Also I used the same STAMPlorations sentiment

with white embossing powder - 

and great minds again - the same MB Branch.

My card base is a coppery metallic paper and

topped with a lighter grainy metallic paper.

I cut the circle for my moon with a Spellbinder die then

glued some scrunched up tissue paper onto it.

This is where I differed from Cathy's card by brushing

Perfect Pearls in White & Heirloom Gold

while some of the glue was still wet.

Here is a close up of the textured tissue.

I then sealed it with Clear Gel Medium.

My little bird is from Kaisercraft.

This and the branch were touched up with 

the Perfect Pearls as above. 

To add interest I then added some white lines

with a gel pen.
