Sparkly bird

Crafty Individuals is one of my favourite places to play. At a recent workshop we made this lovely 6x6 canvas.

The background was made using plain cream card, cut into assorted shapes to cover the canvas. These were stamped using CI stamps and coloured with distress inks. The frame was painted with Farrow and Ball paint in a lovely lilac/mushroom colour. Then the edges were embossed in silver. The image is this stamp.

 I've added coordinating flowers to finish. The speckly finish was a light spray of white enamel paint (Jean did this for me as I am so so heavy handed and I didn't want to spoil it).
