A new month and a new challenge at Try it on Tuesdays.
This time the theme is to 'Try Something New'.
Please pop over to see what we all made.
My happy family of Quirky Birds are going back to school today.
Arthur is always last to leave his cage and is never ready when Cynthia and Agnes call for him.
I gave myself the extra challenge to mainly use water colours and Aqua tints, I even used them for the background stamping.
First of all I had trickled paint over the card. let it run. smooshed it around a bit with a mop up. just like a kid being given its first piece of paper and some paint. Great fun. The bottle tops dipped into the paint were super to make a pattern of circles.
The mop up cloths sprayed with water were good for filling in gaps.
Next up was a Tim Holtz stencil to add texture
My new crafty item was this set of die cuts, that match the bird stamps. One of the easiest products of this type that I have used. The die cuts fit over the images so well.
Thank you for stopping by to see me today, the comments you leave are always appreciated
Love your quirky birds, Yvonne, just gorgeous! Hugs, Valerie

Haha! this is fabulous fun. Naughty Arthur, I hope he doesn't make Cynthia and Agnes late for school.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun page Yvonne, I just love those birds and didn't realise there were matching dies! Trouble is I have filled my revamped craft room and swore I wasn't going to buy anything else as I have so much unused stash!! Maybe I could find a little space for those adorable birds :0)

Looks like you fun creating the background for this fabulous page. I love the way you have incorporated the stacks of books, and the quirky birds are great. It's handy having the matching dies to cut them out.
