SCD

So  over at SCD the challenge this week is still arches and the theme is "BIRDS", yipee I have bird stamps and bird chipboard LOL.


My arch is cut from grungeboard because I wanted to try TH alchol ink agate on grunge LOL, so I duly painted my grunge then added AI's to it, then stamped some images and heat set. The bird cage I painted black, then silver then rubbed it down to distress it. The chipboard bird I painted, then added AI's then used glossy accents. You can image the mess my desk is in and as for my hands, lets just say the bleach will be needed. Had great fun with this.

I find taking a decent photo near on impossible but just wanted to show this photo, which the light caught and it didn't really show the arch so well, but it did capture how shimmery the background is......



PS manged a little stroll around the town, there and back in an hour but oh so enjoyed myself.

What a fantastic make. Love the bird stamp and what you have done with it. Good to see the bird outside the cage. Lol. I wish I could see the make in real life to really see all the textures, however the last one does show the glimmer. Well played.
