Happy Thursday!! Today I have a "bird house" to show you using the 2 Story House from Gina's Designs. . After the house was assembled, I applied a coat of gesso to it. My next step was to extend the roof line. Since Gina designed it as a shadow box, the "back" side is made to be flat against a wall. I wanted to use it as storage and be able to turn it around to hide the inside. I took a piece of heavy card stock to make the overhang match the other side.
For the roof, I used the wider craft sticks and several colors of ink to give it some dimension. The paper is from Prima's Lyric stack. The bird holes are wooden frames with black paper behind it. The metal filigree is from ButterBeeScraps. I took one large metal square and cut it into quarters. The perches are lolli-pop sticks and a metal flowers from CraftSupplies1.
The chipboard bird nest on the front roof peak has embossed eggs and an inked nest end
For the house light I took two of the lampposts and embossed them in black. While the black was still hot I sprinkled gold embossing powder into in. I also dulled the lamp down in spots to give it a more weathered look. The lit part of the lamp is velum inked in different shades of yellow. The velum was than sandwiched between the two lampposts. I attached it going off toward the side so I could see it no matter which way the house was positioned.
On this side of the house I have decorated three chipboard birdhouses. The house on the left is embossed with distressed embossing powder. The other two are stenciled. The roof, base and pole are painted. The bird hole is a black card stock.The grass line is three different colors of flower soft.
The tree is actually a branch. The truck and branches are painted and the leaves and grass are flower soft. The butterfly is fussy cut form my stash of paper.
The birdhouse on the roof peak is painted with a card stock circle.The bird is embossed in yellow. The inside is lined with the Lyric paper and paper from my stash. The attic back wall is painted. I then trimmed it out in flat back pearl strand from Suhafuha.
I plan on storing my flat back pearls and gems in my house. I wanted to also give you a few ideas of what else you could store in it. The bottom and middle shelves could house your paints. The middle shelf will hold up to nine of your Lindy's sprays. The attic has room to hold things as large as your distressed crackle paint.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I hope you have a great day.
