Beautiful Trees Featuring Little Birdie Pearl Drops

Hi everyone!

This is Priyanka Kantak on the blog today.

The theme for this month’s challenge is anything goes with Little Birdie Pearl Drops.

I have two projects for you today, both made using almost the same products.

Both the projects follow the theme of a beautiful tree to illustrate that beauty lies within!

Read on further to know how I made them….

Let’s begin the 1st project.

Step 1:

First I used the Little Birdie Flowering Tree die on white cardstock. This is to be used as a stencil.

Step 2:

I then sprayed Little Birdie Gold Alcohol Splash in Canary Gold using the above stencil on the green paper from the Chevron in Aquarelle paper pack by Little Birdie.

It looks like this:

Step 3:

I then created small drops on the tree using Little Birdie Pearl Drops in various colors. ( Check out the colors listed at the bottom of the post ). You can create different sizes of drops by controlling the bottle. I also used the Snow White drops to highlight the image.

Step 4:

For the base, I used the cardboard from the box that my DT kit arrived in. I painted it with Deep Blue Sea chalk paint. On this, I adhered the panel created above.

* I frayed the edges of the paper for added interest *

Step 5:

The next step was to die-cut some grass and fence from the Victorian Lamp Post die set. I glued these over the tree.

Step 6:

Finally I stamped some clouds from the Princess and Dragon stamp set and pasted it on the panel. I also stuck the sentiment sticker from the gift hamper that I received as a New Year gift from Itsy Bitsy.

And my project is complete!

Now let’s move on to the next project:

Step 1:

In the first step I used the stencil that was already created for the above project.

Step 2:

Next, I trimmed a piece of Coco Brown polyester felt from the store and adhered it behind the stencil.

Step 3:

Using Little Birdie Pearl Drop colours – Mahogany, Tangelo Citrus and Black Satin was next.

Step 4:

Then I spread some Stone Texture Paste in Graphite Dust at the base of the tree with the help of a spatula. It gives the effect of rocks. The texture paste looks so pretty when it dries. It has a lovely shine to it.
