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.

"My Little Bird Nest Triptych"

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

Happiness - Meg's Garden

Hi there everyone, today I have created a 

layout for my DT assignment at

Meg's Garden. 

Using the La Blanche stamp- LEAVES.

Meg's Garden website are stockist and sell

these wonderful stamps which are available at

Meg's Garden website

Wishing you happiness

The stamp I used is a new release 
from La Blanche

 in the packet you

get 2 stamps, I used the one with the

script writing in the background.

I stamped the sections of the image 
around the side of my cardstock 
for a background and then I 
also stamped on an extra cardstock. 

Coloured and cut out extra leaves

Using Vintage Photo, Wild honey and 
Bundled sage

Distress Ink stains to

colour the leaves.

Adding foam tape underneath the leaves to

give them more depth, I also added a few more

around, creating a cluster of leaves

falling down. I love the fine 
details of these stamps, 
each vein of every leaf, looks so real.

The butterfly is from the TRANSPARENCIES also available from Meg's Garden, 
so bright and detailed are these butterflies. 
They look great on any project.

I also fuzzy cut flowers from
Forget me nots fabric paper  P6305
I also created some Lavender coloured 
flowers from
the new paper collection
Lavender Rose P6342 - 
The rose collection papers.

Also added some fibres and Velvet flowers
all available from Meg's Garden website
The paper lace Doily underneath my photo
has been slightly tea dyed with tea mixture, 
I quite like the vintage look of it.

Shabby Chic Summer - Meg's Garden

Hi there everyone,

My turn to share a project with you at Meg's Garden blog

using the some of the new papers from Meg's Garden.
I created and decorated a small frame, I have called it "Shabby Chic Summer"

They are great  for background work for projects and I also used one of the summer
images from A Summer's Day Collage 12 x 12 sheets.

All the velvet Flowers are available from

Meg's Garden website - Velvet Flowers

The background paper behind the the 

Chipboard frame image is Laces in Cream P6240A

a new collection of background papers called A Touch of Lace papers

With the chipboard frame I painted it white and then stamped 

some text with Antique Photo Ink, inked the edges as well.

The leaves are cut with a leaves die and Ode to a summer's Day papers.

The frame was bright gold, I lightly applied gesso all over it to

for a softer look.

Check out all materials available from Meg's Garden website
or here below are quick links to all the products available from Meg's Garden website

A Summer's Day Collage sheet

Velvet flowers

Jewel Pins

The frame I have created is just an idea for you
to create one for yourself or you may want to include a photo
of someone special instead.
