A Little Birdie Told Me ...

A Little Birdie Told Me ...

Hi, it's Dot here with my first solo post for Rubber Dance.  The stamp set that took my fancy this time around is called 


A couple of the birds in the set were stamped onto an book page, cut out and inked around the edge.



The background is oxides applied randomly with a little stenciling added.



Then some background stamping with bits from the stamp set, along with stars, words and a heart from Old Book Page, Textured Flowers and Beautiful Words. 

    

    


Thank you for looking ... Dot.

After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities.
