Just one card and another set of bunny tags.to share with you today. On the card, I crackled the birdhouse, the bird and the butterfly sticker when I made my Shabby heart I posted some weeks ago, and then I put them away, knowing I would do something with them but wasn't sure what. I decided to put them on a card and to use soft colors to give it a shabby look. I got the wooden birdhouse and the bird from Michaels, which came unfinished and the fence is from Michaels, which was already painted white. I just twisted the wire ends around to the back so you wouldn't see them, let alone cut yourself on them as they were sharp! For the wing, I cut some petals off a flower and painted it a light pink, then glittered it and did the same technique with the little crocheted flower. On the flowers on the birdhouse, I just painted a little glue on the edges and dusted them with some Martha Stewart glitter. My stepmom made all the little crochet flowers and my friend Jennifer in WA made the little leaves and I just love all of them! (That was my Christmas present from them, lots of crocheted flowers)! I tried my hand at crocheting and it was an absolute disaster!
Papers are Melissa Frances and ribbon is Martha Stewart. I had the card all finished and even took some photos and was ready to post but I was at Hobby Lobby today and saw these cute little eggs and I knew I had to put on in my little nest and it fit perfect so I re-took the photos with the new addition.

Here is another set of bunny tags using pastel colors. I made the bunnies with cardstock instead of felt and highlighted around them with a fine tip zig marker and then chalks. The eyes are black seed beads and the nose and hearts on their feet are felt which I highlighted with pink stickles. I call them my Lovey Bunnies!

I also wanted to thank all of you for your sweet and inspirational comments. You have no idea how much I appreciate each and every one of you and how much your comments mean to me. I am so grateful to have met such wonderful people through the world of blogging!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Annette! Once again you have completely inspired me with your wonderful creations. The amount of time and love and detail you pour into your projects amazes me. the hand-stitching and glittering and crackling is just fabulous. And that tiny nest.......sigh.
