What a great idea for a challenge over at International Art and Soul - Nursery Rhymes. I really had to put my thinking cap to come up with something. It was recently my birthday and hubby got me lots of lovely new stamp sets - how did he know? lol! One was from Aall & Create who I've not used before. I chose the set called Birdsong for the lovely birds on it. This led me to an old Welsh nursery rhyme I used to sing with my daughter when she was younger. It's called Me Welais Jac Y Do - all about a Jackdaw. Here's a video to cheer your day lol!
He looks like a very proud Jackdaw. I stamped him in Versa Fine Clair ink in Acorn and then used Liquitex inks for the background in Deep Violet and Turqoise Deep. I added a touch of black to the bird and some gold for his hat. The sentiment Bird Song was stamped from one of the other stamps in this set and cut with a deckle scissors and added with dimensionals.
I used a Tim Holtz music stencil for the background.
