Digi Choosday Challenge – Not a Card!

Good morning!  How are things?

It is Choosday which means it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and our theme this time is Not a Card!  As always we have a wonderful prize on offer for our lucky winner so check out the BLOG for details and as it is also DISCOUNT DAY you need to grab the code to get a MASSIVE reduction in the POLKADOODLES SHOP! But be quick, the offer is a 24 hour only deal!! 

This time I decided to decorate a little birdcage tea light holder that I picked up from Poundland! If only I could remember how much it was…lol!

Here is a little photo montage to show you how I got this finished result.
    Pic 1: I printed out lots of pre-coloured goodies from Nikky's fabulous new LILY LOVE BUG COLLECTION and decided what I wanted to use.

    Pic 2: I shaped and cut into some of the flowers and a love bug (which I didn't use J).

    Pic 3: I inked the edges of the hearts and flowers with Victorian Velvet DI.

    Pic 4: Taking some scrap paper and additional die-cut leaves I arranged my elements ….
    Pic 5: ……. sticking them to the paper when I was happy.

Then out came the glue gun and I stuck my arrangement (and an extra little love bug) to the birdcage, attaching a bow on top with a jump ring. Lastly I placed the cage on a circle of paper to give it a base.  And there you have it!
Could have been more comprehensive I grant you but the trick was remembering to take the photos during each stage. Needs work!! J

Ingredients:
All pre-coloured elements: LILY LOVE BUG COLLECTION
Dies/Punches: Sue Wilson ‘Faux Quilled Blooms’
Others: Gems - Pearl Drops - Ribbon - Birdcage Tea-light Holder

So don’t cage your enthusiasm and buzz over to THE BLOG and join in with our fab challenge.   And don’t forget to visit the STORE  as it’s….

    Such a pretty make and I think that the birdcage could possibly be the older sister to my baby one I used last week on my teacup make. I think it may have been a pound. Lol. Great use of the flowers.

    I know! Isn't it hard to take photos every step of the way?!? One gets so caught up in being creative, all of a sudden, you've forgotten to photograph about 3 steps of the process, and there's no going back. Jane, this is beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.
