Craftymess Challenge 16

 

 Good morning my friends well we are at the time again for are challenge over at craftymess challenge blog.
The brief was blue and animals and we have an amazing new little company crafty-emblies sponsoring us, they do some amazing bits so please  pop over and see what they do.
Right know I have a few pots like the powdered milk  pot and I did not want to bin them, so they sat in my office for a bit.

When I saw my birds I thought it would look great on the front, so I worked out how much paper I needed by wrapping it round and then cutting.

I had this 12x12 called Boudoir from Crafts house.

 

 

 

 I used the stip part of the paper for main bit on pot 

then i worked out how much i wanted of the pattern bit.

I used the red double sided tape down the seam to add the stripped paper and the smaller bit.
 

 

 

 Then i added my birds they are col with spectuim noir pens

i add a large button and flowers to top with silicone. and a strip of ribbon for edge.
 

 

Hope you all like my love birds, 

See you all soon

Love and hugs.

Nicky
