Love Fills This Nest...

Here is my third project for the

Front Porch Kits Gallery

I made this wall hanging using the

plank in our "A Little Birdie Told Me" kit. 

I painted it a chocolate brown and trimmed

the burlap to fit over the top of the plank.

I then frayed the edges.  To adhere it to the

plank I used some Aleene's spray adhesive.

The Die Cut Tree looked a little like the one in my

yard that is starting to bud. I misted

the tree with Latte Metallic Maya Mist. I used

the Vanilla Cream cardstock

and punched some leaves, misted them with some

Lettuce Color Wash by Tim Holtz .

I ran the bird through a couple of embossing

 folders and inked the edges with some

Broken China Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.

The letters were misted with Blue Hydrangea Maya Mist. 

A small punch by EK Success for the heart.

 And the nest was made from the jute twine in the kit. 

I cut about a 2 inch piece, pulled and unravelled it. 

 I then shaped it into an oval and secured it

with a generous dollop of

Helmars 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

To protect the surfaces from the elements,
I sprayed a generous coating of sealer.  It will be
hanging on my Front Porch for spring

so that will help to keep the paper from
getting too weathered.

I hope you like my simple little project.

Enjoy!
