Hello crafters!  It's time to have these cute little woodpeckers make an appearance!  I started by creating a crackle background.  I painted the Crackle Glaze on to a piece of black card and allowed it to dry overnight. Next I painted over the top with soft white matte chalk paint and a dollup of chocolate gold lustre paint for colour.  The crackle happens immediately.  I allowed it to dry for an hour  r so then cut it into strips to look like wood planks.  I attached the strips to a piece of black card to complete the background.  I cut two woodpeckers out of white card and used distress markers to colour them.  I also cut the wood trunk from the set and added grren leaves to it.  I used the tree branch from the Moonlit owl die set and added two of them to the background.  I used a Forest Moss distress marker to colour the leaves. I added one of the woodpecker coming out of the knot hole in the trunk and the other one flying.  I cut the Home Tweet Home sentiment in black and glued it on a vellum flag.  The card was completed with milk card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions ar 6 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.    All for now, Sue x
