Using my daily coloring calendar again. This image had some kind of a swirl or something weird with it, so I just cut around it and used only the birdhouse. I added a chipboard bird that I first colored with Spun sugar distress paint and used gold mousse on the raised areas, I didn't like how that looked, the colors seem to clash with the house, so I took a chance and added some weathered wood distress stain on top very lightly and the two seemed to blend together fairly well and I ended up liking it better than what I had before.
I wanted the bird house to be on a pole and not just floating, so I added a strip of card stock and some vines crawling up it. A blog friend gifted me with some paper and I used it for the backdrop, love how it all worked out!

ReplyDeleteConnie, I am partial to birds and birdhouses. Love the pole you added. The bird is perfect. It looks like it has feathers. xo

ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, this is cute! You're very clever with using just part of the image, and I do love the bird and the ivy climbing up the pole. That's Periphery paper? I knew it would look good in your hands! ps: I have a plan for one of those calendar images... an upcoming Double D challenge. It will be perfect!
