One of my favorite trips with my husband was to a bed and breakfast for one of our anniversaries. I already made a mini album of that trip, but found some bigger memorabilia and thought they would make a great layout for our larger album.
I used a wonderful sketch from PageMaps found HERE. I posted the main layout on our Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog, but here are some peeks and an explanation of how I made my bird. :)
In my kit I had added some Sticky Back Canvas and had used part of it to make some birds (free handed). I have tried to stamp on canvas before and didn't like how it came out, but I jumped right in to give it another go. Here is how I added color to my bird (shown on the wing):
I decided to use a complementary color to go with the body of the bird. I used a sponge to dab on some buttercup yellow ink.
I picked a honey color to do the stamping and used a background stamp from Autumn Leaves.
I love the sticky back! So nice to not have to add adhesive and makes it really easy to layer! I added a gem for the eye and am really happy with how it came out. My six year old immediately asked to make one, too, and happily showed me a purple bird that looked very similar to mine. :)
Hope you enjoyed the peek...and hope you look at my FULL layout at our blog. (There will be some other great layouts from our DT there as well!)
