Another City Crafter Challenge









































When I saw this image of the bird I knew at once I had to do something with the birdcage I got at a Xmas sale (it had a really tacky picture in it).  I machine stitched around the image and distressed the edges with antique linen. I printed the image out twice and cut out the bird, then  dry embossed it, paper tole style and stuck it on with mounted tape. I used a leaf vine trim and inked white roses with marigold distress ink. The bird bath is a Prima element (I've been hanging to this one.) Then I finished it off with lace around the base and ribbon and rose on top.  The image is from the graphic fairy
