This is for Kelli Jo’s DTGD Challenge and I combined with the Featured Stamper Challenge – Donna/Daisy D. Congrats Donna! Your gallery is brimming with inspiration! I loved it. I selected this one for my inspiration:
I was inspired to the bird & stem as Donna did. For the background, I finger-smeared Gelatos with water on watercolor paper. I lined up the colors to correspond with the images. Using a kitchen scrub brush, I tapped on brown acrylic paint as speckles. For a different medium, I bunched up some cheesecloth type fabric and glued it down on the side. I sprinkled on chunky glitter to stick in the cheesecloth. I used Happy Birthday as Donna did, but with a different stamp, punched it out and popped it up on Dimensionals.
