Stamped Nest Housewarming Gift

You don't have to be a

painter or illustrator to make

beautiful artwork. 

Use rubber stamps to create home decor,

cards or gifts.

This nest is an example of simple,

stamped art you can personalize yourself

and give as a housewarming gift,

or create for your own home

to celebrate Spring.

You can quickly obtain beautiful results

simply with a stamp, ink, a little bit of

color pencil work and layering

of papers and natural objects.

What type of decor or gifts have you made

recently? I'd love to see them.

Stop by the weekly Wildly Original linky

party and share your talent.

New Nest Instructions: Stamp oriole's nest with brown and green inks onto cream card stock. Edge with brown ink and gold pen, and layer onto green mulberry paper and a coordinating background paper. In brown ink stamp two tags, eggs, and words onto cream card stock; clip closely. Use color pencils to add dimension to eggs. Use brads to secure the tags to the nest. 

Embellish the art with a found feather.
