Good day fellow stampers, Minxy in the house today,
As you may know we have a bit of a Baubles and Accoutrements theme going on this month.
{by the way they're on sale so snap em up while you can}
So after racking my brain I though i'd showcase the baubles and what better way to do that than with a fetching bag charm.
***
I started by stamping 2 bird cages from the birds of a feather & free as a bird plates with black archival ink and 3 of the larger birds from the birds of a feather plate in carnation archival ink onto some lightly sanded shrink plastic, I cut them out and punched the holes I needed with my crop-a-dile and inserted the jump rings before shrinking.
Once I had shrunk all the pieces down it was a simple task of putting it all together.
I started with one of the Idea-ology swivel clasps
Then I just played about with the layout and placement of the pieces and baubles till I was happy with the look. I love the large bauble from the set as you can harvest some of the tassel chain to add more character to the other areas of the piece. You can also hang things from it using jump rings like I did with the bottom bird.
So what will you do with your Baubles and Accoutrements!
Thanks for stopping by.

This looks really good. That first bird cage looks very 3D. nice job Minxy...

This is super. Love the colour of the birds. Been doing a bit of shrinking to make charms myself lately but can't show just yet as it was for a challenge. Those cages are to die for.
