Cute Daisy May DT

It's the start on another week, (how did the weekend go so fast?) and there's a new challenge for you over at Cute Daisy May. This week the theme is "Bright and Cheerful" and I think it's just what we need to brighten our day with all the dreadful weather we are having!




I have used 2 of the images from sheet 186. I coloured the bird with Polychromos Pencils and Sansodor and a little glitter for it's perch and done the whole cage in gold glitter with the
exception of the bows which were coloured with my pencils.
Although I love all the Cute Daisy May girls, it makes a nice change to use something different now and again and I thought this cage was so pretty :) I just cut the little birdie out and stuck him on top of the cage.

I'm not sure who makes the main paper I used but it is double sided and the bits I used for the matting is the other side of the sheet.
The middle strip is from a K&Co mat stack and the piece the image is on is another K&Co paper.
Flowers are Prima and some orange ones I found in my stash, ribbon is some that Barry bought me and it's glittery:) How well does he know me?? lol, and the gold metal spray thing is from a local florist warehouse. I just unwraped some of the wire which was twisted around each other and made some little swirls.
I really like these sprays because I haven't seen anyone else using them (I like to be different lol) and they are so easy to twist and shape and of course because they are pretty :) They are actually much nicer in real life than they look in the pic and the beads realy sparkle :)

Well that my offering for this week. I hope you will join in and go look out all those bright papers that you have had forever and if you are scared of colour like I am!, you have probably been too scared to use lol.

If you are here for the Fred She Said blog hop which start today! please see post below.

Thanks for stopping by
