Bird Cage Beauty

 Hello and welcome. 

How is your Sunday? Its very wet and cold here in WA, so the perfect time to catch up on my blog and do a little craft.

I wanted to share with you all a little project that I had my hubby help me with a couple of weeks ago. I had this antique looking birdcage sitting in my craft room and I was waiting for the right time to do something with it.

It was when I was cleaning out the craft room that I had a light bulb moment and I asked hubby if he could make a few minor adjustments and turn it into a light shade.

So off to the shed he went and cut the top from it and drilled a hole the size of the light fixture and BOOM....here it is.

It is now proudly on display covering my light in the craft room.

Tattered Floral Birdcage

It's that time again where another month is nearing it's end and I have been madly designing.

My inspiration this month was from the Prima Engravers Collection of papers, flowers and brads.

This little birdcage got a make over. Too cute.

After seeing a post from Tim Holtz using his Tattered floral die and some distress paints, I was inspired to break out my die and see what I could with it.

This is the finished flower using Prima Engraver Collection Papers & Brads.

These ticket tags are inked with Versa Pinecone.

This little bird was picked up in a discount store.

The blue lace border is prima. This was purchased in the States.

I love the end result.

Happy crafting
