City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #101 - Copy Cater

Hi all. Happy Spring! Oh how I missed Springtime (... I live in the tropics now). I saw this gorgeous looking bird @ City Crafter Challenge Blog and I immediately thinking about Springtime. Inspired me to create something floral and sweet. The image fits perfectly as the main theme for another altered project (altering an old IKEA clock).

The gorgeous yellow bird image from Graphics Fairies LLC collection.

And so I made this;

I used an old, rusty clock that no longer works as the base of my project. I 'prep'ed the clock with black gesso, green & pink acrylic paints, decoupaged and stamped lace images. Then I started decorating the clock face with bird, flowers and mood-lifting words :).

I also stamped & decoupaged a rose on one of the sides. Stamped on the back as well, even on the bells :)). Metal flowers for additional 3D decorative accents. I'm so happy to see the bird sitting comfortably on the flower bed. Seemed like he's singing, " It's time to love, twirl & dance".


I had fun making this one. It really brought back great memories. First days of Spring in Colorado, when apple trees blooming pink & white blossoms. Clear blue sky. Cool breeze. BLISS. 
Happy creating everyone.
