"Things with wings" is this week's theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I usually add wings to houses or carts, etc., but I kept it pretty traditional this time with merely a flying...person/creature/insect? Not sure what this quirky character is, but I love this image from Kate Crane's KCM017 stamp.
I started with the background elements. I used a Kate Crane stencil and some Distress Oxide and Distress Spray Stain to create the design. I made it on graph paper from Amy Tangerine's Paper Play book.
On a separate piece of paper, I painted with acrylics and watercolors and did some scribbling on scrap paper.
As that was drying, I stamped this quirky girl image from Kate Crane's stamp set and colored her with Distress Watercolor Pencils.
I cut part of the stencil into a rectangular frame shape and cut the colorful collage paper to match the size of a small notebook I wanted to stick it to. I also cut out the girl image and added some wings to her. I cut a scallopy cloud shape from the Paper Play book.
I assembled everything together and cut out a sentiment from a book to finish it off. I sewed the cover to my notebook cover and this project was done!
