Watch the Birdie

I was playing around with this leaf stencil this week. I sprayed it first of all with Distress Oxide Spray and then replaced the stencil and scraped through some modelling paste – I wanted to see if it would take up the green colour. It did very slightly. I added definition to the stencilling with a Distress watercolor pencil.

I’ve got my eyes on you!

 A bit of a zany project this week! I forgot I had these Katzelkraft bird stamps in my stash – they’re great, aren’t they? I’ve layered mine up onto a little ATC Chunkie. The dotty stencilling just seemed to fit in with the dotty bird and the googly eyes.

Bend and Sway

Do you ever start a project and have no idea what it’s going to be? Well that’s this one!

I wanted to use the waste from some of the MDF Inside Story kits and create a geometrical background. I chose soft colours – unusual for me. Then I outlined the shapes with a black pen. Then it was time to stamp – first a silhouetted tree and some marks, then some text in yellow to add a bit of oomph! The flowers were a last minute addition as I felt it was all too bland.
