Bless This Nest: Echo Park Paper

My parents moved into a new house last year and I made this simple frame for their bookshelf.  The sentiment says: Bless This Nest. 


I used a small frame from a department store that was double matted. I removed the thick mats to give me room under the glass to create a scene. 



After removing the mats, I made a base of cardstock covered in burlap, stitching the two together.   



I used stickers to decorate the frame from Echo Park Paper. The wood veneers are Studio Calico and the alphas are Webster's Pages. Twine is from The Twinery. 


This project was published earlier this Spring in a special issue of Paper Crafts Magazine.
