to create the background i used ranger tissue scrap and then used gesso and ranger distress paint to paint over it, except for the bird. i used stampotique stamps in soft brown to add another layer of interest. i embossed my love stamp in black and used markers to color it in. i stamped creative on a scrap piece of paper. i added fringe to the bottom of the atc and secured it on the background with machine stitching.
