In the birdhouse

Good Morning everyone

Today is a little mdf project as a new home gift using those fab katzelkraft owl stamps again

Approx size 7x5"    I first added texture paste through a brick stencil to the front and added it with a pallet knife to the roof keeping it rough to give a nice bark like texture.  Once completely dry i covered it all in black gesso. I then dry brushed on acrylic paints picking up the colours in the owls.
The owls were stamped and coloured with inktense pencils and cut out.  
I die cut foliage from scraps of cardstock and got arranging.  Computer printed sentiment.

A close up on the owls - of course i had to add glossy accents to their eyes.  The owl peeking out the hole is glued on from behind


and below is the back which ive decorated as the inside of the bird house

I used a wood effect pattered paper and covered the back, dry brushing on some acrylic to give it an more lived in look. Then just added my foliage, owls and computer printed sentiment.

A close up.

Items Used:
Katzelkraft stamps - les super chouettes
Foliage dies
Mdf house
acrylic paint
Imagination crafts starlight paint 'rich gold'

Thank you all for stopping by.  I hope you have a good end of the week and weekend, stay safe. Hugs Emmax
