It's a Bird week!
When I was at Port Sunlight on Saturday, I spent the day demonstrating Tim's new bird cage die, using Ten Seconds Studio metal and tags. I think I am hooked on them, and we have plenty in the shop. I distressed inked the tags, and then sprayed them with Crafty Notions mica sprays and let the tags dry. I then stamped on top with distress ink. I used a TSS mould to emboss the metal. Add the metal to some card and humngo tape to make a sandwich, and then run it through the Big Shot to cut out the bird. Easy Peasy! I even added the wing made from left overs. The metal was sprayed with Mica sprays and some Precious metal colour added to them too. I had great fun making these.
This one was made wby accident, and really does need a little more work, but the Birdcage was cut out by accident, and I just added it to the tag.
It is not often that I moan about shows, but sadly my little wooden book bird has gone missing. He was hanging up beside me, and I cannot find him anywhere :(. I fear he has flown to a new home, let's hope he is happy there and the person who has him looks after him....

That metal looks really lustrous with the micas on top. What a shame your little creation went missing though :-(.
Fab birdie tags! Hope whoever "borrowed" your book is shamed into returning it.
I just love this die. Been playing with it, in between having a birthday party lol
Love the metal and I, too, hope someone is shamed into returning your book TUT!!

Funny enough i have just been having a play with my {arrived safely thank you} new birdy die... its so tweet as is your work :)
Hi
Sorry you also lost a creation. At the last show I 'lost' a piece of art in the form of a circle accordion book.
I am gobsmacked, I thought crafters were lovely people. Taking creations is disgraceful.
Shame on the person who took it.
I so want that die:)

Yummy birdies :)
I *need* that metal!
Wow,that look so gorgeous. I love the deep metallic colors and the textures! A really artistic and interesting look!
Those birds are fabulous!!!!
Lovely idea with the metal birds.
Can't believe someone would be that cheap as to steal your creation.
Lovely birds - I must use my new die.
Shame about your book bird :( I have a wooden angel deco book somewhere out there which went missing on a journey.
This is stunning.
Beautiful birds! So sorry to hear one flew the coop!
I've had a few things walk off myself. I guess they wanted it really bad. Sad thing is if they would have asked me I proubly would have given it to them.
Love the look! Amazing!
