So Are You Ready for Some Amazing Inspiration?

Here is my Hummingbird Canvas - made with Add A Little Dazzle Metal Sheets!

Here is a close-up of my metal hummingbird!

 

I used tissue paper in my printer for another project a couple of weeks ago.  I had this quote leftover and thought it also worked for my Hummingbird.  I used gel medium on the back of the tissue paper to adhere it to the metal.  Next time I might keep less paper around the words to make it look more like I printed onto the metal!

I started the whole project by gluing the black sheet of metal down to my canvas with Helmar 450.   Then I traced the bird out of metal - it was exceptionally easy to cut!!  I used the Helmar 450 to glue the parts of the bird together!!  When I wanted to make the word strip, I decided to try 'ripping' the metal, again SO easy and it looks amazing!! 

I doodled with a white pen and dabbed paint around the edges!

I hope you enjoyed my project!! Make sure to visit all our Blog Hop Projects!!  Here is an extra list of today's hoppers!!
