Metal steampunk bird - canvas

I don't know but you might remember my canvas with a gold steampunk bird (if not, click here to see) but today would like to show you its pair, the masculine version.

I made this for the April challenge of the Country View Challenges where the theme is: Animal magic. Your hostess is the lovely Corrie this time and she wants to see an animal (real or fantasy) as a focal point of your project.

This is a 13x19 cms canvas which was covered with crumpled tissue paper. Then I painted the whole surface with Faded Jeans Distress paint. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo and Black Soot Archival inks and I also spritzed with a little wet Black Soot paint.

What I used:

Sizzix Bigz die, Bird Silhouette by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Bigz die, Industrial by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Gearheads by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Robotic by Tim Holtz
