Tweet nest


Tweet nest

Yeah. Corny I know. Tweet nest. That's what you get when you are trying to use your remaining alphas creatively...*LOL*.. So...do you like my tweet nest? ;) Dreamy? It really does look sweet and very sparkly...just super hard to photograph (gloomy weather not helping either!)
The base is clear acrylic...edges inked with pink Stazon...Patterned paper is from American Crafts...a lot of fussy cutting before adhering to the acrylic ..some distressed stickles in rock candy for sparkle...Pink tulle and pearls around the edges...Felt on Maya Road chipboard bird...stickles on American Crafts foam alphas...handmade felt flowers (and some ready-made ones from American Crafts).


I was inspired by the challenge at Scrap-It-Lah to alter something. It looks deceptively simple but took a really long time to complete...if you've worked with acrylic, you understand the pain...the need to be ultra careful because glue smudges stick out like a sore thumb...*LOL*

    Love this. You did an amazing job with this acrylic piece and yes I know how hard it is to keep all the glue and smudges in all the right places. lol

    Lovely work!! Loved it!! & yeah i have noticed your use of nets a lot of time, but have never managed to use it while keeping some bounce in them, i always tend to stick everything down :D Would love to get a tutorial on that!
