Handmade Artsy Stickers

Set 1 of my handmade stickers

 My first time making my own artsy stickers! 

I created these for a swap on swap-bot. 

I used my gelli plate to make my backgrounds onto a sticky label. 

Added diecut words, a punched butterfly, a heart and a stamped bird that I fussy cut.

Doodling was done with a white pen.

(The extra white around the edges is not part of the sticker. It's the backing.)

Button Bird

I started this with a piece of wood and wire.

 I painted several coats on the wood, including crackle paint to try and give it a distressed look. 

My bird is cut from one of my gelli prints. 

Finally, I added a button for his eye.
