This fortnight, the Crafty Boots theme is "diamond" representing April's birthstone, chosen by Amy.
However, I have not gone down the gem route, but used my diamond stencil (crafters workshop) I made a card, with the Funky Bird stamp by Neil Walker for Artistic Stamper (and which I recently won on a giveaway on Neil's blog)
I sprayed Calypso Teal Dylusions spray through the stencil on a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it to fit the card blank; edged it with vintage photo distress ink. I stamped Funky Bird with peacock feathers distress and cut out, edged with vintage photo again. The sentiment is by Dylusions and again edged in vintage photo.
this great helen that diamond stencil is one of my favs...love that bird, makes you smile!!
