Project Description
 | Want2Scrap is teaming up this week to bring you tons of inspiration using Want2Scrap,Graphic 45, and Art Glitter products! I used Joe Rotella’s Retro Birds from Want2Scrap to make the embellishments for my three cards. This set includes 5 birds, 2 branches, several nests (or moons) and eggs along with the sentiment Cloud 9. |
 | I painted the chipboard bird and incorporated a little bit of Art Glitter in to the paint to give it some sparkle. When it was dry, I applied a crackle finish. Nestaboard and Nestabling surround the Follow Your Dreams sentiment. It was easy to cut the paper to fit the Nestaboard using the Fancy Tags Three Spellbinders Die. The background paper is Graphic 45 A Lady’s Diary.Lace gives the card a finishing touch! |
 | This card uses the same techniques and paper as the previous card, along with a different bird from Joe Rotella’s Retro Birds set. |
 | These cardinals are classic retro!! The birds, nest, egg and branches are all from Joe Rotella’s Retro Birds set and were painted with acrylic paint.The word Love is also chipboard from Want2Scrap.The eyes were made using white and black enamel.Want2Scrap’s Swirls Maxxi Girl Rhinestones in Brownadd sparkle to the card.Everything is mounted on Graphic 45’s Tropical Travelogue paper. |
