This is my entry for Theme Thursday Challenge this week. We are to make and ATC using a bird as the main image or in the background. I decided to use the bird as the main image. I had this ATC sitting on my work table with a "Citrol Solve National Geographic" background I had made weeks ago. [You apply Citrol Solve cleaner in the concentrate form onto the National Geographic magazine pages. Let sit for a half hour or so, then tear the magazine apart and let the pages dry. It moves the ink around on the page and makes cool backgrounds. You can find the citrol solve at healthfood stores in their cleaning department area.] Any hoo here is my bird, nestler is anyone who "makes a nest."

ReplyDeleteThis is really neat! I love the background, and the bird eggs and what you did with them are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat ATC Elizabeth! I love that background, but although I've made them before, I didn't know you left them for so long. I shall try my next batch your way and see what the difference is! Thanks for sharing! =)

This is special. It just glows with colour and beautiful artwork. Take a bow! A standing ovation from me.
ReplyDeleteIt's late here in Oz - nearly midnight - and I wasn't paying attention. I left a comment on your most beautiful picture but it didn't go through and I didn't see the note regarding whether or not the comments are held back. Just in case, I love your card. The colours are glowing and the whole effect is exquisite. I love it - a lot.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot! I just love the hanging eggs.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love it. Isn't it neat when you look at your work table and PRESTO something is there that just clicks with what you had in mind. :)Bea

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ATC. The background paper is so abstract and so unique.
