For April's Bella Creations Unique Challenge technique, the Design Team Bellas were asked to make our own flourishes with Liquid Pearls on a project of our own choosing. Deciding on the birdhouse project was the easy part. But I was very hesitant to try this technique (guess that's why they call it a challenge!) so I kept it simple, just a few dots to outline a bird's wing.
Our sponsor for this challenge is the Flying Unicorn. Be sure to visit owner Alda Stevens' blog where she posts her amazing art, her Etsy shop with one of a kind embellishments and her on-line store. The G45 Once Upon a Springtime Collection, flowers, two wood flourishes decorating the sides, the pink bling gems, clear button, brads, white lace (I made it into a rosette), and, of course, the Rouge Liquid Pearls are the types of things you'll find in her shops.
The Flying Unicorn giving this fantastic prize to the winner of the flourish challenge.
The winner will be chosen at random, so please come over to Bella Creations and try your hand at making flourishes with Liquid Pearls. We'd love to have your company!
Additional items used for this project include:
a chipboard house shape, chipboard bird, and tissue nest from Red Lead Paperworks
green Glitter Bling circle from Making Memories
mini Framedangoe from Everlasting Keepsakes (wood flourish at the top)
pink acrylic paint, Tattered Rose Ranger Distress Ink
Archival Brilliance Pearlescent Orchid ink used to stamp a flower from Stampin' Up onto the brads
