Precious Treasures

The collages have been swapped! Here is the project that I made for the Vintage Spring Collage Swap that I hosted.

I used a piece of cardboard for my base and painted it with Distress Crackle Paint in Picket Fence and Antique Linen. The baby image and little bird are from the new Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps. I added butterfly wings and a little nest for this precious little one. The nest is made from some packaging paper and shredded vintage sheet music. I also added some bead "eggs," vintage millinery flowers, and a Prima flower center.

The copper wire hanger is embellished with vintage lace and ribbon and a few sparkly beads. I sprayed a Maya Road chandellier crystal with blue alchohol ink, and then wiped it off. This left a soft blue tint on the crystal. I added a spring poem to the back that I found in an old school book, along with the collage's title "Precious Treasures."
