My secrets in the branches

Here's three little birdie shrines that I made for an Artchix Studio swap. These little guys are only 2 1/2" tall. I love doing swaps. You get to send your precious creations out into the world to other creative souls and get to receive  something wonderful  back. The anticipation of going to my mail box during swap time is a wonderful feeling.
To make these petite pieces, I started with mini shrines from Artchix Studio, but you could cut some out of cardboard too. I glued on some floral images from the Graphics Fairy  for the background and highlighted them with markers. Then the layering begins, with a birdcage transparency, a cute bird image and pink german scrap from Artchix Studio and some word snippets. The sparkle was done with a foil fan, rhinestones and some glitter Stickles. Now that this is done, I can't wait to see what I will get in the swap.
Waiting in anticipation.
Yours truly, gerri.

  2. Very soft, sweet, and definitely spring, Gerri. Love the fan at the back - gives the shrine depth. Swaps are soooo much fun - gives 'mail' these days a whole new meaning. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous work, Gerri. Donna
