B is for .... Bimbelot

Hello again!

It is time for another submission for The Craft Barn's Altered Dictionary Challenge.

This week's chalenge is the letter B with no twist. I was spoiled for choice for words this time around, even though I am using a French-English dictionary. I finally decided to go with bimbelot meaning knick-knack. Why? Because it is such a lovely word - in both languages - and you can't beat a bit of crafty knick-knackery now can you?

So here is my offering...






The table is a digi download from Free Vintage Digital Stamps (click here to go there), which I coloured with Copics. The knick-knacks are as follows:

Lamp and bird cage - Papermania Signature Vinyls Vintage Decor 1 and 2
Cameo - Pink Paislee Phantom stamps coloured with Copics
Vase - Plastic tube with mulberry paper roses
Bird - bead from Spellbound beads (here)

I'm quite pleased with how these pages turned out, especially with the 3D look of the piece, that table looks as though it is popping out of the page.

Thanks for looking, please leave a comment so that I know you came.
