A little collage

I tried to sell this birdcage stamp on Ebay (France) without success. I tried looking at it in a different way, to see if there was a creative way to use it and all of a sudden I saw a picture in it.

 
I already had this stamped birdcage and the little image sitting in my scrap bin (as Suzz calls it, that must be the American word for basket) so I put them together and created a little collage card. The flower, sentiment and shells were also in the scrap bin and just seemed to fit. I have Suzz to thank for the websters page too..on which I printed an Eau de Cologne perfume bottle label from The Graphic's Fairy, which can be found here.


 Another little card with the same label. Just added a butterfly.. but no gems... that gets taking used too!

    Bin - I wonder where in America Suzz is from! In my neck of the woods, it is a lidded container, as in a flour bin, but definitely not a basket. I always thought it was an English word because I would frequently come across references to the dustbin, which I think is a garbage can! Isn't language a wonderful thing!! By the way, love the birdcage collage with all the pieces from your scrap basket!! :)

    This is very cute! I really like your idea of adding a photo inside the birdhouse. makes for an unique focal image. Love that Webster's Pages paper, too.
