I'm totally smitten by Martha's little 'nest' and have even saved the instructions for future use! lol ... do you have a 'CASE this' file, too?
OH you can't know how much I wish I had PTI's gorgeous tulips... a darling little Botanical Blocks III Poppy will
have to do! I've created a little nest using PTI's Rustic Jute Button Twine, and a few slim cuts of their Fine Linen card stock... even snuggled a few 'eggs' in for good measure!
See how sneaky I was getting a little bit of blue
into my design? A little water coloring with Zigs was all it took to 'paint' this little panel, which was heat embossed onto water color card stock.
Thanks for stopping by ... I'm off to add my card!
