Little Bird Nest - Triptych

Hi everyone, i

I have a special little project that I have created for
my DT work for Meg's Garden.
It is a Triptych, you may ask
"What is a Triptych?????" it is  pronounced "Trip-tik"

It is a picture or carving on three panels, hinged together vertically and used as an altarpiece but in my case it is an Altered Art piece! :)

I made the panels from the Tim Holtz

"Artful Dwellings" die cut

covered it with the latest release of papers 

Dreaming in Lavenders & Dreaming in Mulberry papers

German Scrap border

Silver Diamonte trim

Pearl loops

Velvet flowers

Duchess jewel pin

Transparencies butterflies

Green Medley Jazz fibres

Fancy Circle frame

Small clock face

Silver Diamonte trim

The side panels are just flat but the middle panel I made it into a little house. 
Inside the opening is a little cute birdie. 
I made his nest with Fibres and a Mulberry 
paper flower all from Meg's Garden website.

around the back I covered with the
Dreaming in Lavenders & Dreaming in Mulberry papers

and did some fuzzy cutting of the flowers from the papers.

All the products I have used are all from Meg's Garden

The Guipure Lace under the black velvet ribbon has been
sprayed with some glittermist to make it look very vintage and old.
