Well, I think that Spring just might finally have reached us here on the East Coast. I'm typing this up with the window open and the crickets churping outside. Love that!
For this week's TCP TUESDAY CHALLENGE #153 sweet SONY has given us a fun color combo - Yellow, Orange, and Teal. I immediately went for my Fine And Dandy - True Blue paper pad by MME. (Wonder if this is what Sony had in mind when she made up the combo? The whole pad fits perfectly!) I also really wanted to highlight the HOME TWEET HOME dies and use some music patterned paper. I wanted a vintage-y feel to whatever I made. You know how great ETSY is for doing research on beautiful crafty projects and ideas, right? Well, I found THIS and just knew I had to make one of these.
I started with a small round paper mache box from JoAnn's. I covered the box and top with paper using Modge Podge. I added a Goldfinch from the florals section at Jo's as well. I made a trip to the woods out back for a couple of twigs to hold my PENNANT banner with TWEET stamped using the COOLVETICA alphabet. Plenty of Glitzy Glitter covers the bird, music note, and birdhouse from the HOME TWEET HOME die set. I also used the new EASY ROSETTE in the large size and the banner from the same die. Some newsprint tissue paper make up the nest and some paper Prima flowers finish it off. I'm gonna place it on our foyer table for some fun Spring decor!
