My First Post for Marion Smith Designs

Hello everyone! Today is my first post for Marion Smith Designs here. My first project for sharing is a layout featuring Nirvana collection. I love the earth tones in this collection and decided to use it to create this layout. Besides the beautiful tones, there are tons of gorgeous vintage images in this collection which I've cut out to embellish this layout with.

Marion Smith Designs also carries some pretty resin flowers which I've used to decorate this layout.

The bird nest is a piece from the Early Bird Nest Junque and Gems. I've used some stamens to detail around the cluster.

To further detail this layout, I've used some stamps by Marion Smith Designs such as Curios, Typo and Flying High.

Supplies:

Nirvana Collection

Curios stamp, Flying High stamp, Typo stamp

Cream Resin Rose, White Resin Rose

Early Bird Nest Junque and Gems

Glitter White Stamens

Gems

Hope you all like today's project. See you again soon!

3D Egg-"Spring" Home Decor Tutorial

Happy Monday morning, to you all!!!

It's Peggy Lee here to share with you a little spring inspiration

and an egg tutorial on how I created this

little pretty!

3D Egg-"Spring" Home Decor

Grab a hot cup of coffee and enjoy it's a long blog post,

tons of photo-inspiration....

3 D Egg Tutorial

Grab your favorite paper I used the Mad Tea Party papers...

1. Draw an egg shape onto your papers 

and cut out.

2. Fold in half, use a bone folder 

to give you a good crease.

3. Distress the egg edges

4. Adhere your egg paper pieces 

together 

keep going until all the egg paper pieces 

are all adhered together

I used about 8 egg shapes

5. I like the shabby look so I distressed

again after adhered...helps hide the uneven edges.

6. Also for another shabby feel, I like to

brush gesso over the edges...optional

All together now decorate to your hearts content!

I used a dollar store candle stick,

Die cut out some flowers, embossed them adhere together....

Nestled the egg in the center of flower on a bed 

of cheese cloth!! Added some flowers, pearls and butterfly cut out 

of the papers....

A little banner touch-fussy cut out a few banner shapes...

stamped "spring" using Marion's Typo stamp set

adhered to a pink string floss-gesso the edges!!!

Thanks for stopping by today....

hugs,

Peggy Lee
