Hi Bloggers, Lynn K. here with an altered project using the stunning IOD collection "Cotswald Manor". I found an inexpensive birdcage from Michaels that had some not so attractive fake floral decorations on it. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the cage. I ripped all the florals and fake grass out and coated the outside with Splash of Color Viva Colour Inka Gold Metallic Rub. I took a soft cloth and rubbed it on the cage, then buffed it with a soft cloth - this gave the cage a copper like finish. I applied the Inka Gold to a key and added that to the top of the cage.
The cage opened allowing me to decorate the inside with papers from the Cotswald Manor collection. I fussy cut papers, including two adorable birds nested on some paper cut flowers. I dabbed some gesso aroung the papers edges and the green berry spray ...
Notice how the flower centers are glittering - that is Viva Colour's German Glitter in Champagne. This glitter is AMAZING - the sparkle finish is stunning, moreso than other glitter products.
Supplies Used:
-
Gesso
-
Petaloo Green Berry Spray
-
Background Stamp
-
May Arts Sheer Ribbon ~ White
-
Key from my stash
-
Ranger Archival Ink ~ Black
