Embellishing, from Ordinary to Beautiful

Be sure to click on the picture to see a close-up.

One of my most favorite things to do is to embellish. Whether it is a pillow, a picture, hats, clothing, what have you. Give me some bling, bits & baubs, & anything you can stick on with glue and I can sit for hours creating. That it my forte and I tend to blur the lines of "Is that too much?"

Here I took a picture I bought from JoAnn's and added real bird feathers, a decorated egg, ribbon and a tag I got on Etsy. It sprang it to life and gave it dimension that just sings to me.

What can you "Kick up a Notch" that you already have and make it extra special?

Thank you for stopping by, Kindredly Lynne Laura

What a beautiful print - and your embellishments just add that extra touch. I especially like the tag hanging down the side.

Hope your weekend is going well.
