Altered bird cage for MB's Treasurista

Hello peeps!

I want to show a bird cage that I altered.

Before

It started with a holder for a small candle, but I tucked the bird inside the cage instead.
It was also white to start with, but some acrylic paint and voila :)
It's a sand acrylic paint and I mixed a turquoise pearl paint with the same sand acrylic and got a gorgeous green.
That really made a differens and the rest is easy!

After

I made some candy gem acrylic sprays cling to the bird cage in yellow and green.
Then I hot glued some ruffled satin trim in celadon, which match the colour of my acrylic paint perfectly. I also had some flat back pearl in mint from Misty with went perfect with the colour palette.

 I wanted to make a nest inside the cage and twined some more of the candy gem sprays in yellow and green to act as twigs. As egg I used the water blut flat back 10mm, they also fitted perfectly in the middle of the flowers on the bird cage, but I ran out of them :(
The small sweetheart blossom was the perfect size and super sweet as I tucked it on the "inside".

I added some acrylic chandilier charms to the chain and that's pretty much it :D

Oldie but goodie Graphic 45

Hi everyone!

I hope you haven't missed that Kellie now has the new Graphic 45 collections in stock at The Rubber Buggy - great prices and shipping:)

I know I'm getting mine there :)

So I'm using my olde curiosity shoppe paper that I got from the store. Lots of layers going on here, the harderst part is to cover the gorgeous paper - LOL!

I also used the post card stamp from the French Country set#3, tied some ribbon and added a couple of WOC open roses 20mm (sprayed with LSG clam bake beige). But as you see I did not tie the bow very neat so the bingo chip became all crocked.

Products used from the Rubber Buggy store:
Graphic 45 paper pad 8x8

If you're hopping to me from Kelly you are right on the way:)
And if you've hopped from the beginning at Misty - congratulations!! You've made it to the final pit stop =D

I'm showing you a super easy tag with masculine influences. I started by stamping a large damask from Teresa Collins vintage find and stamped some music notes across the entire tag from the same set as the damask. Then I fussy cut the flowers and glued to the tag. Can you believe I the designer paper is Teresa Collins she said collection?
And it turned out the blue was a perfect match for G45 little darling sticker sheet which is were the letters are from.
To keep it masculine I didn't want any paper flowers or frilly lace so I made a simple bouquet of blue candy gem sprays and wheat leaf sprays in three-toned sage green. Threw in some stamens to add colour. The buttons are from my stash and the rest of the embellishment is from Tim Holtz. The ticket is a MFT die-namics & stamp set. The banners are stapled with a normal home office stapler.
