Hello and TFL,
Here is my FAUX Postage stamp (WT977 Mailed It!) of a Partridge in a BARE TREE (WT970 Forest Friends) holiday card.
This is for a friend who sends me a carefully chosen wonderful store purchased holiday card each year... several years I was able to RECYCLE that card into something handcrafted to send back to him the next year. HE LOVES this game!! : )
This bird was originally a beautiful tree with large glossy paper ornaments, on a dark blue sky bg. CAN you see where those items ended up on this BIRD DIE? I hope so : )
this was so fun to make for him, I made several versions of this BIRD die, mostly vintage style - gorgeous soft colors... but this one is for HIM and he will be amazed at the transformation from last year's card he mailed us.
I watercolored the BG in swipes of color and a BARE TREE for the birdie to perch on.
Two of the ornaments are popped up on dimensionals, but otherwise it all speaks for itself.
RECYCLE this world, if you can. : )
hugs and Happy Holiday wishes to you all,
Teresa

This makes for an amazing "stamp"! The sewing on this really appeals to the sewer in me...and the gingham ornaments are really fun. Your friend will be delighted with this recycled transformation of his last year's card.

What a fun and clever game with your friend! Love this patchwork, recycled bird and the sewing added on top. The postage die cut edges are perfect for the challenge. Great card!

Teresa, I think what you visualized for this transformation really shows your imagination and creativity! This is AMAZING! I love how colourful it is and that you created a soft wash for your background. Such a standout card, and recycled into such beautiful art. Love it! The stitching is fabulous.
