Crafts Galore Encore: Little Birdie ATCs

Hello

Happy September :)

Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore. 

The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects.  The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 29th September.

This month's challenge is kindly sponsored by Tracey-Lynn from Fred She Said.

I used three sets of pre-coloured digis. Backdrops for Flowers or Butterflies, Winter Birds and the Dogwood Branch, to make a set of ATCs:

I printed out the backgrounds and elements I needed several times, making some smaller and others larger. The backgrounds were distressed around the edges with scissors, then slightly inked and lots of white splatters were applied.

I fussy cut the birds and dogwood branches and inked them lightly around the edges to disguise any white paper. I added some sisal, some gild mesh trim and a tiny amount of florist's moss to act as a base for the birdies. The birds were popped on foam tape to add dimension.

Sticker sentiments were adhered and each background was matted onto a black base.

That's all for now.

Many thanks to Tracey-Lynn from Fred She Said for her generous prize for our random winner.

Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs and to enter our challenge. 

We'd love to see your creations.

Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

Thanks for stopping by today!
