Modern tile to Asian bamboo

I made this card with the memory box challenge in mind, I recently discovered there's more to dies than just shape d base cutting and am loving experimenting and thinking outside the box. I don't have many dies yet so I am doing quite a lot of lateral thinking for how to enter some of the challenges but I am quite pleased with the result this time around.

The challenge is birds and as I have some bird stamps but no bird dies a bit of lateral thinking was required. I used a stamp man crane stamp from an Asian set bought many moons ago and embossed it with moonglow hyacinth blue jade powder, It changes colour shades when tilted in the sun so it doesn't show very well today.Raining again.

The white base card is sprayed with moonglow spritz in tawny turquoise again has a subtle sheen honest. The lateral thinking came when trying to fit the challenge ,I used the modern tile background die and cut sections off and trimmed the ends unevenly and at angles to produce bamboo looking lattice corners and bits, which I coloured brown with promarkers. I used 5 pieces as odd numbers work better and finished the card with 3 dew drops just to tie the colours together.

I think this will be great for a general guy card and can add an appropriate sentiment when I use it.
