Spray the Izink Bleu Ciel and Blue Moon sprays, directly on to the front of your card blank. 

Whilst the ink is still wet, splatter water over your background, leave for a few seconds, then mop up the excess water with a paper towel. 

Allow to dry naturally, if possible, but you can speed it up with a heat gun, being careful not to warp the front of your card. 

Splatter Confetti white paint over your background, then dry it off. 

Use your Thirsty Brush Rainbow stencil to draw random clouds on to your background, with a black fineline pen.

Draw "movement" lines on your clouds, as required. 

Set your card to one side. 

Stamp up three birds, (TWO of the bigger one), from the Bert And Ernie Creative Stamps, with the Onyx Black Versafine, on to the A4 white card. Be frugal where you stamp the images, as you will need to keep the leftover card to stamp more images on to, in a later step. 

Once the ink is dry, cut them out. 

Use your watercolour paints to paint your cut out elements. 

Once the paints are dry, use a white gel pen to add accents and highlights to your elements. 

Set these to one side. 

Ink up the parachute stamp, from the Jump Creative Stamps set, with the Onyx Black Versafine.

Stamp it TWICE, on to the white card you set aside earlier, and cut them out as shown here. 

Set the leftover card to one side. 

Place the dotty parachute section, of the Funky Parachutes stencil, in position, over one of the cut out parachutes.

Blend the Villainous Distress Oxide through the stencil.

Set this one aside.  

Blend the Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide over your second cut out parachute, as shown here. Dont't worry about going over the edges, as you will being cutting them out later.  

Place the striped parachute section, of the Funky Parachutes stencil, in position, over the pink inked parachute.

Blend the Villainous Potion Oxide through the stencil. 

Once the ink is dry, cut off the bottom sections of the inked parachutes, as shown here. 

Set them to one side. 

Cut SIX pieces of twine, approx 5 1/2" in length.  

Adhere the strands of twine on to the reverse of the parachutes, as shown here, securing them in place with your double side adhesive tape/red liner tape.

Leave the ends hanging loose. 

Use wet glue to adhere the first parachute in place, on your inked card blank. Leave the twine hanging loose for now. 

You can shape the parachute with your fingers, to give it a slight curve. 

Adhere the second parachute in place, using foam pads to add dimension. Leave the twine loose. 

Attach foam pads to the reverse of your Birbs, then pull the twine taut, on each of the parachutes, before adhering your Birbs in place. Alternatively, you can tape the twine in position first.   

Adhere the flying bird on to the striped parachute, with foam pads. 

Draw around the parachutes with a black pen, to make them "pop" from the background.
