A collage using tando birds

Hello there! Its Rachel here today with an inspirational post using some of the Tando Whimsical birds to make a collage.


These super cute birds come in sets, this is from set 2 which also has a smaller sized birds...


The packs contain enought bodies etc for 3 big and 3 small birds which you can mix and match according to your own design. I thought it would be fun to use these on this months project.


Having pushed out all of my birds I assembled them - then disaasembled for painting...


I chose threes colours and painted all parts then added detailing using a Kay Carley stencil. Next I made the background....


I randomly cut some Clarity Shenandoah papers nd affixed them to a piece of card overlapping where I felt like it. Once complete I used glue and seal all over to ensure the papers stayed put.


Next I added plant details using opaque texture paste and another Kay Carley stencil.


apologies for the colours here - this one was taken in the dark and I don't think my flash works well. I used some Kay Carley stamps and added more white bu stamping with gesso.


Finally I added the birds and some words from TH clippings....


Here's a close up!

I hope you enjoyed seeing those birds come to life!

Hugs Rachelxxx
