For the Inspiration Challenge this week Audrie has sent us to West Elm. I picked something totally different out earlier - bed linen in lovely colours, but when I came across this Rocking Bird Salt and Pepper set, I couldn't pass them by. And, with my clear EP and gesso, there's enough Mixed Media for it to qualify for Tiffany's MIX challenge yesterday too.
A2 base. I stamped Canvas in Weathered Wood and then painted it over with gesso for a soft background.
Stamped the sentiment, add strips of wood veneer and my sponged and embossed birds. Decided that the sentiment called for some music, so added a music stamp in Smoky Grey stamped off once to keep it soft.

This is wonderful Sabrina! Love the soft gesso bg you created and the different wood grain textures. Those cute little birds singing their song are precious! TFS

I love those salt and pepper dusters too! I really like the way you angled the strips of veneer. Your sponged birds are so pretty in their bright colours. Great sentiment. Lovely all round!
