My busy Hands

This is my 2nd post today - details of the City Crafters Challenge are in my first post ... just scroll on down.


I told you I had been busy ... my mind whirling with thoughts and inspiration, and you gotta just go with the flow sometimes ...  I saw this beautiful picture - the inspiration for The Shabby Tea Room Challenge


So last night I sat and created this little hanging piece ....











I started with chipboard from an album and painted and glittered the edges then added a background of Websters pages and  a vintage postcard .... Little handmade roses mixed with leaves, twigs and flowers from my stash ...  see the little eggs in my birds nest? I had so much fun making this ... Do you like?

I have just finished another project so will share with you soon ....

keep safe

Yes, Ros, I LOVE it! How clever of you to make a wall hanging instead of a card. I love 'out of the box thinking'!!! So much vintage charm and the sweet little eggs in the nest just are the icing on the cake :) Thanks for sharing your talents with us in the Tea Room :)

This is very stunning! Love how you combined handmade flowers and others. What did you use for the nest? Congrats on top 3 at the Shabby Tea Room!
