'Use Dies & Ribbon'
I had a little fun with this design today :) I took some inspiration from a very talented lady called Julia, who made her birds nest from paper shreds! I decided however to use eylash fibre, jute and some punched leaves for my nest! and here it is.......................
My little bird is a Nestability die. This particular set has only three dies, but i just had to have them as i love the shape of the bird!!! and i think she looks rather sweet sitting in her nest :) Now i just have to think of a few more ways of using them!
I've covered my base card with some Basic Grey paper from the 'Sultry' 12 x 12 collection pack and the bird is also BG although not sure which collection as it was a small piece from my scraps box!
My layers for the background are white card run through the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder, layered onto some plain black. The ribbons are from my stash and have been wound around the layers before adding a Making Memories paper flower and a jewel brad.
I do hope you will enjoy playing along with us this week....and don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the other girls on the DT........make sure you leave us a link, so we can all come and see what you have cooked up from the recipe!
Thanks for popping in today..........have a fab Monday! ;-D
