For the Inspiration Challenge this week Audrie has sent us to West Elm. I picked something totally different out earlier - bed linen in lovely colours, but when I came across this Rocking Bird Salt and Pepper set, I couldn't pass them by. And, with my clear EP and gesso, there's enough Mixed Media for it to qualify for Tiffany's MIX challenge yesterday too.
A2 base. I stamped Canvas in Weathered Wood and then painted it over with gesso for a soft background.
Stamped the sentiment, add strips of wood veneer and my sponged and embossed birds. Decided that the sentiment called for some music, so added a music stamp in Smoky Grey stamped off once to keep it soft.

I love every inch of this card! But what blows me away is the way you did the wood part - so neat!! Love the sentiment, the music and those fantastic birds!!

Wood veneer!!!! Love how you incorporated it into your card. And your birdies are wonderful, too, as is the rest of your creation. Congrats on being a CAS Fav of the Week!
