This month we are being sponsored by

I decided to go with one of Anna's Fabulous designs, 

 "Woodland Musicians" 

and her pre-made musical notes background paper.


I adhered the musical notes paper onto a 4x9" canvas using mod podge.  
(Thx A.M. for your help.)

Then printed out 2 copies of 6 woodland images, colored some areas with Copic markers to make the colors a bit more vibrant.

Did some "extreme" fussy cutting, meaning I made small sliver cuts as to give the illusion of fur.  I printed 2 copies of each image and used pop dots in between to make them 3D. 

Glossy Accent was used throughout some areas of the images.

On the images that have drumsticks I replaced them with white ball head straight pins I colored with my copic markers, cut them down to size and pressed them into the pop dots that held the duplicate images together.  I also used tiny rhinestones on some images as buttons.  

A tip: if you buy clear rhinestones you can apply any color to them.


I used sewing needles to replace the violin and cello bows and adhered them in place.

Used some dark and light green cardstock to make my own grassy patches by cutting thin slivers and combining the different shades together.

Had some small wooden musical notes laying around so I used acrylic paint and colored them red (my fave color that I tend to use a lot) and used a generous amount of Glossy Accent.

Fore the foreground I used Art-C Textured sand, pebbles and boulders which come in white.

Made some far away clouds by using Liquid Appliqué and applying the heat tool.  An old time favorite of mine, so glad they still make it.  It's also available in marker but... beware, it blots!

  Please take a few minutes to look at other images that our sponsor 
is offering and don't forget to swing by                                                   
and 
to join our monthly challenge and view what my teammates have created as well.
Enjoy life!
Hope you were inspired!
