-Kimberly's Spring Fling Blogaversary-

For my Spring themed project I created an altered BirdHouse. I just LOVE the way pink and blue look together so I went with this color combo for my BirdHouse. Once the paint dried I stamped all four sides of the birdhouse with branches and then stamped pink cherry blossoms. The cute rubber stamp that I used is by "Impress" that I picked up at a local rubber stamp shop in my area. After stamping the bird house I then added some bling to the center of the blossoms! All the crystal and pearl opaque dots are from Close To My Heart.


I've added some gorgeous ribbon and trimmings along with some pink teardrop shaped gems that I found all at my local craft store. I also cut a few shapes like the swirl butterfly and hanging sign from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge which is sold exclusively through Close To My Heart. Oh and in case you are wondering...yes, that is a glass candle holder that I used for a stand which I picked up at the Goodwill store for under $2 dollars.


I hope you like it!

~ Enjoy!
