Bird and Stampbord Canvas - Minus Chickens!

Today I've made a canvas using Crafty Individuals' bird stamps. The canvas started life covered in chickens, and I bought three of them for 50p at a car boot sale. The chckens came off quite easily and may be used on another project, but they left a gluey splodge unfortunately.




My photos are terrible as I really struggled with the canvas being so wide so I have taken several, and I'm sure you get the general idea! I've used a background stamp (which I kept whole, not sure if you are meant to but I like it) CI256, and the birds CI182 and 183, and the flourish, CI200.





The flower to the left of the stampbord took longer to make than the whole canvas!
The tile is covered with Crackle Accents


Just wanted to show the sides with the background stamp

    What a beautiful canvas. I love your attention to detail on the sides. Especially running the flourish stamp over to it.
