Today's post is a mixed media hanger to celebrate Spring......
The background has been created using the Natural colour of Bistre powders,
mixed media stamping, crackle glaze
and my favourite 'weed and foliage' stamp set by Rubber Dance.
After pushing out the cardboard egg shape chippie in the centre of the eggs
I used the left over shape as a stencil.
I lightly coloured the embossing paste with blue Bistre powder and scraped it through.
Pieces of twigs and feathers where found around my garden.
The twigs, twine and die cuts where hi-lighted with white and gold.
The eggs where splattered with brown paint and covered with some crackle glaze.
I finished with some gold splats, gold hi-lighting around the edges, attaching the twine at the top
and stamping the wonderful sentiment by Alison Bomber,
who inspires me greatly with her mixed media magic x
Leaving the stamp in the Misti allowed me to stamp the sentiment at the beginning and at the end.
Happy Easter and Happy Spring to all my wonderful blog friends x
Challenges I would love to enter
Hope the hint of blue, which I knocked back with some brown is OK?

The style of this card is so amazing. I love the aged look and your background is simply stunning. The cracked glaze looks like the remains of an old glaze. You have achieved a unique look. Another amazing inspiration, Mac.

such a BEAUTIFUL spring make! I love that delicious background with the delicately colored eggs in their feathery nest. Wonderful textural piece! Thank you so much for sharing this in our Neutrals challenge at A Vintage Journey! Hugs!
beautiful as always :)! thanks for playing along with us at STAMPlorations Mixed Media challenge!
Mac, this is just beautiful. I love the eggs, feathers and the texture. You did an excellent job on this.
Wow this is a masterpiece. Your attention to detail is totally incredible. I love the two tones to this beauty and the embellishments are perfectly dosed. You continually outdo yourself. Bravo! xxx
This is absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful, delicate, layered background, shaded perfectly to draw the eye in to those fabulous eggs. How clever to use the egg-surround as a stencil first before adding the die-cut itself, to create the trio in their gorgeously cosy nest. A real springtime treat - I just love it! Sorry I've been a poor visitor lately, but very happy that you joined us on A Vintage Journey with this beauty.
