This is my contribution to a row house swap on the TN Stampers Yahoo group. It's a good thing I only had to make ten - I was worn out before I had the first one done! It's so much better IRL. It is much more textural and dimensional. The bird is from I Brake For Stamps (formerly Time to Stamp) and is stamped on mica. The letter S is from Oxford Impressions. TIP! Don't throw away the waste after punching out your Grungeboard pieces - they are great to use as stencils! I also use Grungeboard pieces as masks. For this piece I used the large flourish as a mask and spritzed around it with Ranger Cranberry Colorwash spray. The background is acrylics in various colors.
