Medically speaking

Time for another Making Art challenge over on the EWV Yahoo group.  #19 is all about using one of Wendy's birds, of which she has 3.  Yes, 3 (Let Your Art Have Wings, Be Happy...Make Art, and Art Is Therapeutic).  While the first 2 are the same bird but in different sizes, the 3rd is a different bird and on a label.  This is the one I chose to use in my project.

This was the first time I independently played with Art Parts (rectangle & frame, scallop trim).  Woohoo!  What fun!  There's also Clearly For Art (bottle) that was shaped around a can to be more round, and shrink plastic (doctors).

Studio 490 stamps:  Funky Flower Art, Art Inspiration, Art Colors Life, Art Is Therapeutic, Card Art Essentials

Ranger:  Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Antique Linen Distress Stains; Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain Distress Inks; Cranberry Pigment Ink; Jet Black, Coffee, Crimson, Saffron Archival Inks

The doctors (Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers) were stamped on shrink plastic and colored with chalk.  Perfect!  The pills (RBBB) (stamped and cut out 10) were stamped on Ranger Glossy Cardstock.  They are layered within the bottle but it's a bit hard to see them.  Rx (Ann-ticipations) was stamped on grungeboard and given the faux enamel treatment.

Comfort was stamped on a file folder label, inserted into the holder then glued down between the bottle and frame.  A bit of gauze stained with Antique Linen Distress Stain is the ideal embellishment.

Our guest bathroom is full of antiques so this will fit nicely in there...who doesn't need a bit of bathroom humor?  lol
