Absolutely fell in love with this Funky Fossil set and knew I needed to do something a little different with them. The stencil behind is Dina Wakley with DI Salty Ocean, Shabby Shutter, and Squeezed Lemonade dusted through it. The top bird is stamped onto an old Creative Essentials magazine page and fussy cut.
In contrast the mirror image stamp was used on card and is mounted on sticky pads. The two sentiments came from the same set. Blue Skies is an old sky divers greeting are you telling us something Sarah? The only other stamp I've seen with this greeting on is one I had made just for me donkeys years ago.
Why Avant garde? well it is how I described this Funky Fossil image to a friend it is such a new take on a well trodden path.
So whose linky collection can I add this to?

Another great card for our challenge at International Art and Soul Zoe. I love the idea of stamping your first butterfly onto a magazine page. I'd never have thought of thought of that in a month of Sundays - and it works so well. Great sentiments to match you images. Christine DT x
