The Bird House

Good Morning everyone.  I hope you had a good weekend.

Today im sharing a card i made for my dads birthday with those fun crazy birds, i've teamed them with a stepper card and window die to create a bird house idea.

I first die cut my stepper card from black pearl cardstock and folded along the score lines. I then layered on some woodgrain patterned paper.  I took the middle panel of wood paper and die cut the window die into it, i then added acetate behind the aperture.  I added a stripey 'wallpaper' behind the window and attached to the cardbase.  I then die cut the window again from the black pearl cardstock and inlaid that over the acetate. 

I then stamped the birds onto white card and simply watercoloured with distress oxide inks, i picked colours to go with the stripey wallpaper. I then fussy cut out the two birds. I die cut various leaves from left over scraps of patterned paper and inked card.  I arrange the leaves and birds onto the bottom of the stepper.  

Just a close up on the birds.  I used oxide inks in candied apple, fozilised amber, lucky clover & salty ocean.  I added glossy accents to their eyes. 

Just showing the stepper card side on.
