I like challenges as I have found they get the mojo flowing, and even though I have to admit, this piece has had a little bit of birdie influence from a certain person! It was so fun doing this technique again. Over on Studio L3 there is a challenge using techniques from Tim's Compendium of Curiosities. This week's challenge is to use page 49.
I used a beer mat ( first one for me) , black and cool peri dabbers, made a metal bird from Tim's dies,used an adage ticket and an ornate plate, added a hanger ,{ sorry this is no longer available, as it has been discontinued :( } and was really quite pleased with the finished piece. The stamps are Tim's from Artful Artifacts. Thank you Linda for the challenge, it is a great way to spend an afternoon.
Do pop over to Linda's blog and take part if you have the book.
Have a very Creative day

goodmorning Jennie,
I completely understand " not having time enough to create"... It's been here in Belgium also very busy, but it's finally vacation so I hope to be able to participate too in this challenge and get the book to it's ultimate use !!
Your beermathanger is gorgeous ! I love the whitened effect you created with the paint. Easy, but effective stamping and the hanger finishes it off perfect.
maybe they are not available anymore, but I could make one myself , inspired by seeing your work !
greetings from belgium

Oh how gorgeous! Love the color combination.
The hanger is smashing...but you know, I have wire and I have those 7 Gypsies clips, so I think I can make my own.....that's going on the to-do list right now!
