Jean is our hostess for the first Tickle a Teapotter challenge of 2019 and you can find out all about her challenge HERE.
I used a lovely window stamp given to me by Lorraine for this one. I stamped it, masked it and stamped the brick wall. Cut out the window part, dusted the whole thing with powdered chalk pastels and that's when I got sick...
Today I made it into a little shaker using some sort of mesh I found in my stash, and a bit of a gel print behind it. I cut the ivy, the birds and the sentiment from more bits of gel prints. There were four birds on it at some stage - but after 5 days of not being able to eat, I'm a bit shaky and I don't know where the fourth one went - and it's time to go back to bed for a while.
Warning for whoever receives it - it's not a brilliant shaker. But it's pretty.
