Yep, I am still on the bird, butterfly kick !This is an old wooden flower press which I found at a local charity shop. It's been down in my basement for over a year now, until I finally decided what I would do with it. I used the same colors and theme that I used on a 6x6 canvas I made a couple of weeks ago. I love these colors together with the nature theme.
Not sure if you can see in the close up here, but I used gel medium to add some dried pressed flowers I have in another flower press. The little bird at the top is sitting on some dried lilly of the valley.
Isn't this little girl adorable? I found her on Flickr in user angellia's photostream, she has some really nice vintage clip art free to use. I did alter her a touch by changing the color of her dress and shoes.
This is my project for this weeks Friday challenge at ECS.

Thanks Lynn looking for my Altered Cd. I use doubble size tape and little bit glue too.
gorgeous colours and I like that you are using other elements (like the dried lily of the valley) as well as paper...adds so much texture.
Ahh Lynn! Adorable altered flower press. What a great idea! The fairy girl is precious.
