The background was created using the large Polka Dots stencil by Darkroom Door. The stencil was placed on top of the card base and ink was applied with sponges.The background came to life very quickly.
The little bird was stamped out on white cardstock, shaded with the same inks that were used for the background and then trimmed out. The typewriter was stamped on white cardstock and shaded with one color and then trimmed out.
A cluster was created, in the center of the card, by stamping the Texture/Weathered Stripes stamp as a focal point for the typewriter image to be adhered. The little bird was adhered, along with the sentiment, on the typewriter.
Speckle the card with ink or paint.
