Meet the Alpha Stamps Design Team Blog Hop!

I have to say that being a part of the Design Team for Alpha Stamps has been amazing thus far and I am loving every minute of it.  To introduce the new team a blog hop has been arranged with lots of avian inspiration and some prizes too. Be sure to check out the links below for more chances to win lots of amazing art.  Simply leave a comment here by June 10 on this post and you will be entered to win one of these small bird houses.  The winner will be announced on June 11 right here, so be sure to check back, leave your email or become a follower so that you stay informed!

Our recent kit was bird themed, and I found it to be quite fun.  We made altered coasters which you can see here and we also embellished these cute little bird houses.  There is a swap for "Birds in Hats" altered coasters that anyone is welcome to join, simply click the badge on the right to get more information and see what is on sale. There is also a huge "Birds in Hats" kit being given away on the Alpha Stamps blog, so be sure to stop by and comment for your chance to win there too. 




I decked all of my little houses out in gold Dresden Borders.  These are so nice to have on hand and make for a very easy elegant project.  When in doubt, a little Dresden Border will do the trick!




I love the watch hand beak on this dapper guy.




This owl is carrying a note that was once a charm.  I simply used pliers to break off the jump ring and I had a wonderful embellishment.  I actually had to add this element, as I was covering up a hand from a girl pictured next to this owl in the imagery I chose. You also may have noticed all the cool Gothic Windows that were used.  These are so fun.  They were treated with a crackle paint and then altered further with a product called Inka Gold.   

I hope I have managed to inspire!  Have fun visiting the rest of the Design Team and don't forget to comment here for a chance to win a little bit of my birdy art.

Now on to the rest of the hop, there is much art to be had!

Cheers,

Rhea
