Good Morning....hope all celebrating Labor Day are enjoying their day and maybe will get in a bit of crafting. It's a rainy, cloudy day here. No picnic for us. Guess I'll have to craft all day.....hee hee
I've been wanting to try the tutorial at Inspired by Stamping-WHW#115--Creating Mixed Media with Wooden Shapes. It is really fun to do something a quite a bit different from cards. You can see a closer up photo on my Splitcoaststampers gallery. I'm also posting my card at the Inspired by Stamping Customer Gallery for September.
I started with a wooden bird. I used modeling paste, several ink sprays, a wooden note which I covered with Stickles, a button, feather, stamps, and a plastic mesh canvas on the tail and head. All the instructions can be found at the IBS site link I listed above.
I'll also enter this into the Mix-Abilility challenge Mix23 on Splitcoaststampers.
A wonderful new challenge I've found: Word Art Wednesday challenge #95-Anything Goes

Way to delve into mixed media, Benzi :) Fabulous bird! Enjoy your crafty day :)
This is amazing, Brenda! LOL, I keep telling myself I'm not getting into any other media. Then I see something like this......$$$$$
WTG jumping into the mixed media world of crafting! That's quite a beautiful & colorful bird!
It's raining here in PA too, so our BBQ has been moved indoors, but it's no big deal. Just another day for us :) Have fun :)
Wow, Brenda, this is spectacular! Love the colors and the charms you added to it! Now I know what to do with all those wooden shapes I have. Great project!
Hope you had a nice crafting day. Hope to get into my room this week.
Love the vivid colors on this mixed media bird! Wow - you are so creative! Love the charms too! Impressive work.
Hey I saw your comment about football on my blog. Did you know my team is the University of New Mexico - the Lobos. They never win! So I pull for all the Alabama teams since they make our state look good at something cool! Hugz! This weekend I was actually pulling hard for UAB against Troy so Allie's team could win her first football game - they almost won! Hugz!
Fab job on your wooden altered bird. (I'm one that needs to venture beyond cards...but not just yet :-0! I will check out the link though. I've bought some of the pastes, need to learn their uses. Really did like the bright coloring on your bird..he looks ready to soar away. TFS & inspiring to try other media.
So beautiful! Love the mix of colors and the fun music note. Thanks for joining us at IBS!
Rain? It was 97 here today. I am looking forward to rain lol!! Your bird is fabulous!!!
Fab job Brenda!! I love the colors and texture on your wooden bird :)
This is lovely, Benzi! Love the feather and heart. Marvelous colors.
This is an amazing card! The bird looks absolutely fantastic! The pretty blue heart is such a fun detail on the bird! :)
