Just for fun challenge "New Techniques "

Girls, girls, girls,..............Now this is what I call a challenge !

My first big challenge was getting out of bed today ( I'm a little under the weather ) but I couldn't wait to see what the girls over atjffchallenge.blogspot.com had in store this week. As soon as I saw it I got straight back into bed !Everything is a new technique to me even simple stamping so I was a bit more flummoxed than usual. Had a nap and found that my flummoxing was on the wane and so had a go.

Now these techniques to you lot of experienced,talented,beautiful,artists (can you tell I'm going for the sympathy and crawling vote )  may not be new but they are to me so here goes !


I cut two tags one with acetate and one with card and printed onto the acetate this beautiful Japanese flower design (is printing on to acetate a technique ? ) cut out a butterfly from the same acetate and layered it with a pink card butterfly. I then stamped and embossed with one of my In the garden stamps from SU onto a feather ( tricky little devils ) and there you have it.

Please bear in mind that no birds where harmed in the making of this tag .

Marie

P.s you might need to enlarge the image to see the detail on the feather

    Its tricky stamping onto feathers and acetate, and to do that when you are under the weather just shows how good at this stampong lark you are getting :0) Love it!

    What a gorgeous creation and yes acetate stamping is a technique and can be a tricky one that people tend to avoid. Too easy to get a blurred image. Have heard of stamping on a feather but never ever tried it and that sounds like really advanced techniquing to me.
    Your work is always stunning and it is a pelasure to visit your blog. Hope you soon feel better. Thanks for joining us at JFF

    I've done a lot of stamping in my time but have never stamped on a feather - fantastic idea! And this fits with the IA theme as well as the one you submitted earlier :-)
