Welcome to another new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week's theme is, "Wonderful Watercolor." I decided to make a watercolored nest that also serves as a bowl to hold buttons or Scrabble tiles or other little things.
I started out by watercoloring over some patterned paper (Prima's Garden Fable and Tim Holtz's Correspondence collections). I also smudged on some Distress Ink in random areas for more spots of color.
Next I cut the watercolored pages into thick strips, then cut some of those into smaller strips using Martha Stewart's fringe-cutting scissors.
I ran the strips through a paper crimper to give them even more dimension, then I crumbled them up and started gluing them to my nest base (a custard dish). Once the outside was done, I cut word strips out of the Rise and Shine collection by American Crafts and started to cover the inside.
I made a cone hat for my bird using Prima's Royal Menagerie paper and added a "Create Magic" sentiment using the Brush stamp from Prima. I added my bird to his new nest home and it was done!
Here are the supplies I used from Simon Says Stamp for this project:
