Shortly before Christmas when I was buying (myself) Christmas presents, I added a stamp of a bird I've seen my mate Sam use and which I've wanted ever since...
This weekend, when I was busy making secret stuff (birthday cards and some tags and atcs for a swap) that I can't share yet, I worked on a page in my little (A6) journal. Now that's finished, and I
can share that now!
it started, as so often, with be brushing paint on the page to clean the brush so not to waste it. LOTS of colours here!! Caramel (possibly) Cherry Red, Amethyst (I think) and Dolly mix. stencilling with texture paste (am LOVING Finn's Light Texture Paste) all knocked back with Gesso.
A couple of spritzes of white Deco Art shimmer mister
wasn't using the bird (it's called Feather Bird but I'm naming him Harry, I think he looks like a Harry...) on anything I've done this weekend, but really wanted to ink him up.... owing to all the texture on the page, I stamped him on tissue and tore round him - I stamped as best I could on the page, to get the little specks mainly, onto the page and glued him over the top.
I love him, he's gorgeous!!
Couldn't decide what to do on the rest of the page, I wanted something, so used this sentiment from Tim H's classic 16 (which is also new to me) and cut the words up.
It's pitch dark of course, so have had trouble with the camera... one is with the daylight bulb
and one with the daylight bulb but the flash on the camera too...
Had fun this weekend playing - will share the rest of the makes when I can!!
