It started like this
I had odd bits left over of….sandwich bag, music paper, tissue, baking paper, tea bag, prima paper, corrugated card, dictionary paper, some fibre paper and the piece in the middle which came wrapped around some ribbon. Some of the papers had been stamped already.
So what happened then..
I stamped the blackbird on a branch from Lindsay Mason's 'Arabella' and coloured the beak with a Spiced Marmalade distress marker.
I made a tattered flower using more paper bag and baking paper and fixed it together with a screwhead brad that I coloured with alcohol ink.
The little die cut flower at the bottom is my new favourite - Memory Box Prim Poppy, I had to cut it with some stronger paper and peel it of - it is so delicate - I love it! A little bit of Brushed Corduroy around the edges, a stamped word using one of those little boxes of letters and I'm done!
