Dancing in the rain

Okay, so once again the weather forecasters were wrong.  But our snow is melting rapidly with the above average temperatures.  Oh well.

Hey, the Compendium of Curiosities challenge is winding down.  At week 32 we are playing with inking and stamping masks that can be found in full detail on page 59 of the book. 

Umbrella Man was still out on my table so I decided to work with him again.  The tag background was created with distress inks and water...plop, smear and spritz.  Yes, all technical terms.  I used some sequin waste to create the dots at the upper left and lower right.  The bird was stamped in Coffee & Black archival inks on grungeboard and is carrying a tiny tag with the page number of this technique.  All stamps are Tim's and Wendy's (rock on, Stampers Anonymous!!!).

Playing along with so many others from around the world, this challenge has helped me see outside my comfort zone and get to know the properties of the various items used.  I'll be sad to see it end but I'm sure Linda has something equally challenging up her sleeve to keep us on our toes and get us to spread our wings.
