Birds on a Branch Vintage Style Plaquette

I love bird designs especially vintage style bird designs so I couldn't resist making this lovely plaquette which I am so tempted to keep for myself.  The pink base is a mix of red, white and cream paint that I mixed up myself to create this great colour.  Of course, I didn't write down the amounts so it will be a challenge trying to make the same colour again!  I think the pink is a great match and at the same time, contrast to the blue and I will definitely reuse this design - maybe next time I will try it with an orange background.  I hope you enjoyed my post, I'd love to hear what you think or answer any questions, so don't forget to comment below or on my Facebook page.

Mirror - Old Pine to Vintage Chic

It's a great feeling when you've put your heart into something and you finally see the end result and you're smiling.  After a week of working every night on the old pine mirror that I painted recently and spoke about in my last post, it's finally finished and looks great.  Some slight distressing was done first to create an 'old' look and then I découpaged it using a variety of vintage style materials which I overlapped in some places.  After sealing and sanding several times (that's the boring part) I then used a wax for the final finishing.  I'm super happy with it and hope you like it although I don't think the photos do it justice - it's not easy to photograph a mirror!  Don't forget to leave a comment here or on my Facebook page as I'm always interested to hear what you think.  Thanks for coming by.
