Four Calling Birds



I made this "bauble" for a "Twelve Days Of Christmas" swap run by my friend Linda B.
There were 12 of us in the swap, with only 3 of us being Aussies, the rest from the UK.
I used more of my CC technique paper,run thru' the Cuttlebug,gold embossed and then dotted it with Kindy Glitz.
Added a bird's head,German Scrap Wings and a piece of border as a crown.
Feathers,and a glass heart bead finish it off. The number 4, which I cut from a Cuttlebug die,is attached with a fishing swivel.It is embossed using craft glue as the adherent to give a chunky finish.
Gold paper covers the back, with images of 4 birds calling Santa on the phone.I added coiled red wire for the phone cord.
