SMEARED AND SMUDGED APRIL MEMBERS BLOG HOP

Welcome to the APRIL BLOG HOP for members of the SMEARED and SMUDGED FORUM.
We were asked to create anything we wanted...but we had to use METAL somewhere or somehow in our project, and not just brads or eyelets.
I salvaged my Nans old aluminium venetian blinds when my Dad took 'em down 2 years ago and they have been propped up in the garden shed just waiting for 'something'.
I thought i'd try to use 'em with my Sir Tim dies...... it worked... although i completely ruined my Sir Tim atc die doing this project......GRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
Now ..... those who know me..... you might not wanna go any further.... be prepared for a stomach churning, vomit enducing moment..... i felt i really should warn you all..... this little cage is just the begining......


Below is the blog roll list............. you might just wanna go on to the next person.... skip this project of mine.....in my defence i have been poorly.... and i think i am now really sick.....

....YOU were warned!

I am still not sure where this came from, but its what was in my head..... and one of my girls thinks it LOVELY!....the other has taken the 'juice' for hours!
I used a digi image from SMEARED INK, SMITTEN set....coloured with promarkers.

I used papers from my stash..... fussy cut loads of the flowers, letters, leaves and lace from said papers .... inked and distressed edges.....

I die cut a bird, leaves, butterflies and a cage from Nans blinds.... then used embossing folders with them... then sanded 'em.

I have used some tatty ribbon, an Eiffel tower charm and some gems.....

GIRLY OVERLOAD!

I shall enter this into the following challenges....
