Thanks to my good cyber friend Rosie's blog - I found the GPP street team and was fascinated by the challenge they were setting: take an old piece of your work and re-do it.
I decided to take an old canvas I had done - which looked so boring - and revamp it. I added extra stamps - I cut out the trees because I wanted to add some Tim Holtz crackle paint to it - to give the tree trunks more texture. Some of the birds are stamped and some are cut out to give it a more 3D effect. Stamps are Tim Holtz, SU and Cherry Pie.
BEFORE
AFTER
The challenge over at Awfully Big Art Adventure is to do something with Birds so this fits the bill nicely.

Fiona you have knocked yourself off brilliantly - the result is just great. Love the idea of crackle paste for tree trunks btw.
Hi Fiona,
This is a great one! I can tell you had fun re-vamping it, too. Thanks for showing us.
Way to go! You encourage me to revisit some of my plain work that could really stand to be amped up like you did here.
Fiona ~ I really like both the before and the after creations, such lovely colors and details in both!!!
