"Be True"

I'm in love with the little birdie. I found him in a bird book. I'm pretty sure some of the flowers I made were using paper from that book, too. I made this one 2 weeks ago...and I've learned some new techniques since then...I may have to go back and jazz it up a bit. If I do, I'll post the before and after.

This is an 8X10 inch canvas. The background is just a piece of scrapbook paper. I sprayed it with water and crinkled it up, opened it and crinkled it again. Then, I wiped distress ink all over it while it still had wrinkles. Next, I smoothed it back out and adhered it with mod podge. The flowers are a mixture of Basic Grey canvas flowers (that I got in a Studio Calico kit- and hated...but they were perfect for this!) I also used little paper doilies from Martha Stewart, book paper, buttons and stamps and my own doodles. The key is K & Co.. And the lace is from my mother-in-law...I've used it on just about every piece I've done recently! (It makes great scallops for roofs on cutie houses!)
