Vintage Birds Nest

I follow a blog called The Graphics Fairy that offers free downloads of vintage pictures (if you haven't had a chance to check her out I would recommend doing it soon, like AFTER you read this post,lol). I found this cute birds nest, which was just black and white. I downloaded it and then colored the eggs with a colored pencil. I also lightly colored the leaves and part of the nest too. I then Mod Podged it onto a canvas that I painted black. I also did a fun technique with the black paint {I explained how I did it below}. Adding some cute blue polka dot ribbon finished off this project.
Look closely at the canvas part and you will see a pattern that I created by blotting the wet paint with a wadded up paper towel to gently lift off some of the paint. Love the effect it made and I apologize that it can't be seen better in the picture. Trust me, it's cool!
I am linking up with Life As Lori for her crafty party.
