This week our challenge at
Magnolia Down Under Challenges is to make your own embellishments. You can add in some bought embellishments too but we'd like to see some hand-made embellishments too. I based my entire card around the little bird's nest. Recently I found
THIS amazing tutorial from Cathe Holden at
Just Something I Made while blog surfing and the next time I was out shopping I was buying beads and wire - LOL. This was my first attempt at these little nests but I'm sure they'll be popping up on my cards again - I LOVE them! I added a twist of wire to the top of the circle too - just to balance things off!
I also used some of my Magnolia DooHickey dies to create the central flower, the leaves and the paper lace - these are from
Tickled Pink Stamps. My DP is from Memory Box and the ticket is a digi stamp from
Bizzy Bec's Digi Downloads.
I'm sure the rest of the MDUC DT gals have some fabulous inspiration for you too - and how fun to find new ways to embellish our creations. I know I'll be picking up a few tips from the other girls! Check out the rest of the DT's work on our blog
HERE and we hope you join in the fun!

Aww Debbie, this is so so adorable. Love the soft colour combo and awesome colouration--I don't expect anything else from you...hee hee. I like this Tilda--I'll have to put her on my wish list if I don't have her already--I just don't know anymore, hard to keep track. And the birdies too. Love the flower and leave arrangement. Oooh and the pearls for the eggs--brilliant idea. Nothing about this card I don't like, I can go on and on...wonderful layout, beautiful DP... I adore it.
Hugs.
