This is for Lydia's mixed media challenge "transferance". Lydia provided a video tutorial (in an American accent, which truly surprises me as you all have Aussie accents in my head).
I digress, not only was there a video, there were links to several more tutorials....how could I go wrong.
I followed all of Lydia's instructions but I seriously struggled when it came time to rub the mod podge off with my fingers. As you can see, I had to get out a man sized scraper.
I did the technique again....same result. Oooops I used modeling paste instead of Mod Podge. You knew that didn't you. Buried under all these layers is a very lovely picture from a book.
Perhaps I should not upload this in the MIX129 challenge, but technically it is a MIX129, albiet a failed attempt.
The handdrawn water drops are from Lydias MIX 105 tutorial (I had no trouble with that - only two ingredients LOL.
In the spirit of 'transferance" I transformed the crazy bird into a fish. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

I looked at that fish and said, "Tim Holtz"! I love those birds and this one has found his inner fishy. I hope you pass along a pic to Tom, he would get a kick out of it! Love the story behind it, hope your fingerprints recover, and thanks for sharing you epic fail, epic win!

Wanted to come back and tell you that I did purchase this set after seeing this card. I showed your card to some non-SCS artsy friends and they fell in love with this. Thanks for showing me a new way this set can be used. Love your work my friend. Hugz

I can't see the picture underneath but who cares??? The card is a great design. Great bkgrd and so cool that you turned your bird into an underwater dweller. So imaginative. Glad I sent you the crazy bird images and you got hooked! You are creating wonderful pieces of art with them. xx When should I expect my card to arrive? Heehee.

Oh Susie, this is just beautiful. My granddaughter would really love something with a fish. I wonder if you could provide a link to Lydia's tutorial. I would love to see it and give this a try. Thank you so much.
