Hi all

It is week 2 of Challenge 40
It is week 2 of Challenge 40
I chose to be challenged and my project incorporates autumn and spring - I think it works and I hope you think so too.
I used a cheap birdhouse from the pound shop, took it apart so working with it was easier. I painted part gold and the other spring green. I stamped and clear embossed a bare tree on the back, used a sponge to dab TH DI, red, orange and yellow randomly to depict the autumn leaves. I also stamped and clear embossed flowers, butterflies and dragonflies all round and on top of the birdhouse. I then stuck moss randomly in the same colours using dylusions sprays. Trouble is the stamps beneath are now not visible lol. I used a wooden frame and backing to stamp a butterfly, clear embossed also. I used inka gold to slightly colour it. The frame was painted in the green, clear embossed and inka gold over the top. I then put the birhouse back together.
I now must apologise for the copious amounts of pictures - just couldn't make my mind up on this one lol.
Thank you for taking th etime to drop by and I do hope you choose to pop on over to ANYTHING BUT A CARD and join in with this fun challenge
Hugz and love always

I can never resist a little house and how clever to have one side spring and one side autumn. Those autumnal mosses are divine.
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the theme.What a brilliant idea to treat both the sides differently.I love that Autumn tree and the coloured moss looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteIt's a visual treat Elaine. ..amazing to have 2 sides with different themes! Loved that tree especially.
