Retro Wetlands

Hi all!
I'm on a coach at present on route to Scotland for a much needed holiday! I thought I would do some blogging whilst I have the blogger app.
I recently stumbled across the colour challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments:
I thought it would be great for a mans birthday card which I needed for a work colleague here is what I came up with:
I really enjoyed making this quick & simply card I have only just aquired this Wetlands stamp set so wanted to play with it. I knew I wanted to include a bit of Retro dsp and the Tangerine Tango seemed to be the best!! I used an aqua brush to paint the sunset looking background behind the birds. I then distressed it around the edges with my paper snips to give it some texture.
See you back here soon...
