Welcome to the April challenge. Almost summer (well ok it's a while away, but the daffodils are coming up, and the birds have taken up singing, so what better time than to welcome the good weather than with a challenge using birds and bees. It can be interpreted any way you like, as long as it has rubber stamps on it.

Titbelsoeur
To make this strange bird, I have used a tin cap, a drink can, a piece of drawing paper, and an old necklace.
I have glued a piece of a page of magazine on to the tin cap, then stamped the Junior Bird size 70mm x 50mm ©Neil Walker with
black Archival ink : head to the drawing paper and the tail twice on
the can I had first opened. Then I cut out the watercoloured head and
the 2 tails I have used as wings. I sticked all parts (head, wings,
necklace to represent the legs) with hot glue.
I used a background stamp, a calligraphic mat and the lovely free as a bird stamps set along with some PaperArtsy paints to create this tag, Pop over to my blog for more details.

I
used the Honeycomb Background stamp with Distress Inks to create the
background. Then used the same stamp stamped in black ink and coloured
with Distress Inks to create the top layer. I applied 6 layers of clear
embossing powder over the top then cracked the embossed layer to create
texture. I cut in to 1 inch sections and mounted on to black card.
I then stamped one of the bees in the stamp set, fussy cut and stuck with 3D foam dots. To finish I added a sticker sentiment.
We hope
that you will join in this month's challenge, and also join us on Facebook too.
We look forward to seeing
your creations. Don't forget to add a comment when you have posted your
entry.
Have a very creative month
