It is time for another Crafty Secrets DT challenge organized once more by out Team leader, Vicki Chrisman. Today's challenge is to create a "Bird" themed project.
In addition to this challenge, it is my turn for the $30 Gift Certificate draw that Sandy, owner of Crafty Secrets, is giving away to one lucky winner. Very simple, you just have to leave me a comment on my blog together with a little blurb on what Crafty Secrets product you have used in any of your projects. I give you up to the stroke of midnight on Halloween eve to leave your comment and I will then select one lucky winner.
Now on to the project I will share with you today. For my "bird" theme, I used 3 adorable images available in the "Birds and Blossoms" Creative Scraps. There are actually 22 adorable images to create with. I also used a frame from the Square Sweet Chips chipboard, which is also from Crafty Secrets.
First of all I covered 2 frames with a DP from the Pastel Paper Designs and 2 images that I placed back to back between the 2 frames. I then used a Clear Star Metallic Sakura pen to add some glitter to the bird and flowers in the image. All around the edges of the first piece, I added some Diamond Dust and Crystal Snow together with some Prima flowers that were sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist. Added a flower button to the Prima. For the other side I used the other 2 images, one for the inside of the frame and another that I cut out as accent piece to go hand in hand with the "bird" theme. I also used some pearl pebble embelishments on the frame. Now to hang the frame I stringed some pearly white and blue beads and attached it between the frames.
I sure hope that you enjoyed viewing the project I shared with you today. Please visit the rest of our Design Team members individual blogs and most especially the Heartwarming Vintage blog which has another surprise give-a-way. All the links to these blogs I have conveniently listed below for you.
