Spring Tag

So tired of the cold weather...I'm so ready for spring! Here's another swap I joined on Life on the{Scrap}beach.  I have to say I went out of my element here.  First of all, the nest I handmade. I wrapped the different colored sprays & flowers with floral wrap. The design paper is from K&Company{Life's Journey}.  I distressed the edge with my distress it all from Zutter...I luv it!
Now for the bird{punch from Stampin Up}...I first stamped it with SU{music note wheel} and then sprayed with GM{tattered rose}.  Then I used tissue paper for the wing-cut 1/4" strips and then stamped & misted with the music note wheel & tattered rose mist.  Then cut them into small squares. I took the end of a paint brush and twisted a tissue square to the end & adhered it to the wing with hot glue.  This technique I remember doing back in grade school...who knew it would come back to me after all those years! 

 

 

 

After making this tag, I felt like gardening....just waiting for the warm weather to arrive!
