Discards from Nature!

What's our Theme for our New  Cut It Up Challenge
ADD EMBELLISHMENTS.


Because I like to do a bit of Mixed Media
I tend to pick bits of 'stuff ' that has been
as the heading says - discarded by nature.
The bark is off a tree that is outside my patio
as is the twigs - blown down by wind.
I thought I would try and see if I could cut my bottle
from it and worked perfectly. Just had to be careful
it didn't fall apart. Sealed it with some old crackle glaze.
I backed it with cardboard.
My background is a cover plate die
from ARTplorations.
I then die cut a circle and added the other side
of the sealed bark behind it.
The hardest part was attaching the bits of bark 
and getting the bottle glued down.
Added some more bark to the bottle as a shelf.
Certainly different embellishments eh!
Die cut the Fig 3 from AALL&Create
and attached two frames.
Adhered to white card base.
