Challenge Swap #3

It's time to show you my

creation for Challenge Swap #3 with 

my crafty friends group.

This month the theme was

"The birds and the bees"

I made this little wall hanging for my friend Marie.

I'm hoping she will hang it in her craft/sewing room.

The background was created by smooching ink onto

a slick surface, adding water and then placing the 

water color paper into the puddles of ink.

The birds are from Tim Holtz, Crazy Birds set.

I got these along with the dies at Michael's, 

but have never seen them again and can't find a link

to the set anywhere.
I did no line coloring with watercolors and this is the first
time I've liked the results with this technique.
I fussy cut them to add to the background piece.

The bees are from a set from Honey Bee Stamps

"Bee Hive" which also has a matching die set.

The wording was stamped with a Dyan Reavely
alpha set, "Dy's Alpha"

I love how this turned out and
Marie loved it too.

Thanks for stopping by to spend some time
with me today.
I hope you've been inspired in some way.
Come again soon,
you never know what you'll find on
