Hello!

I'm back with another October release from AALL & Create. This time it is a set of stamps designed by Janet Klein called #430 Free Bird.

I love quirky and they don't come much quirkier than this Free Bird! Here they are on a whimsical plaque made from popsicle sticks:

Step by step:

The sticks were glued together and held in place by two sticks. They were given a thin coat of gesso and some texture paste was applied through Janet's #97 Starry Night stencil.

***

The plaque was painted with a variety of acrylic paints. The raised texture paste daisies were coloured with a white Posca paint pen.

***

The bird was stamped twice along with the flower which I use as a sun and both sentiments. I used Copic markers to colour the birds and the sun.

***

I added the birds to the plaque, using recycled cardboard packaging to raise them from the background. Some natural sisal was popped behind them for added texture and I decided to add some dried flowers on the ground in between the birds.

The sentiments were cut up and adhered to the plaque. Hemp chord was wrapped and glued  around two of the end sticks to give hanging loop.
