KSCC#24, kitchensinkstamps - Entry 2

Entry number two for the Kitchen Sink Stamp Challenge was inspired by the gingham paper I had in the green.  Squares and more squares is the theme and I ran with it in this one with many forms of squares everywhere.

The little duck and words are from the Kitchen Sink Stamp set http://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/shop/product41.html.      I was limited in the yellows I could use for the duck so I used a gel pen in gold to highlight the beak and a small dot of dimentional fabric paint for the eye.   While there are probably lots of more appropriate products to use I had this paint and it worked great.    The nest is made from Raffia.   I was given a bag of the stuff years ago and tend not to throw anything out.  It was perfect for the nest.   I twisted several strands together and put some glue on the back to secure.   With a bit of shaping and fiddling...the perfect nest.   To make the small bow I coloured  white ribbon with an ink colour that matched, made a small loop and glued together. The centre is then tied with a thread several times and secure at the back with a dob of glue.

TIP: When using wet glue, test on scrap piece of  paper first.   Some paper will stain, warp or stretch with some glues (ask me how I know...lol...!.).
