WATCH THE BIRDY



This is a first for me a layout that has ended up exactly as I pictured it!!

The cheeky chipboard birdy came flying through the post and I decided to fancy him up.
1. Pressed silver foil onto the cage, purposely didn't make it perfect as wanted to see design through it.
2. Wrapped embroidery floss around the branch, for texture.
3. Flocked the bird, added dot for eye.
4. Twine was tied to top and strip of Cosmic Cricket paper added behind.

The 2 paper birds are from old Ladybird book, handcut the branch and word WATCH.
Thank you for looking.
