It's Lisa's first challenge as a WTUI hostess ~ WT516 Beads.
I've combined it with Vicky's last challenge for January to the CCEE Stampers. Her first challenge for the New Year was to use a bird - I've managed to work birds into four out of five of her challenges .
I've never had much luck in the past with Bleached Out Images, but I gave it a go. In the past I've tried several papers, and fresh bleach. This time I had some kraft that I knew was SU, so I gave that a go - with fresh bleach - and hey presto, success.
Then I coloured my bird with Inktense pencils, leaving some of the bleached card uncoloured.
I rounded the top corners, layered it onto white card and added some punched borders along the bottom for a garden fence feel.
For base - DTP with Bundled Sage and Pine Needles, misted with water, wiped with green chalk pastel scraped over it. Stamped with IO Wavy Lines in Versafine Sepia, edges sponged with brown.
I used some microbeads for the centres of the dogwood and the Primas - and then when I was looking for some leaf sequins I used to have, I found some little glass beads which were a great colour to go with my base, so I gave up looking for the sequins.
