I have used Kirsty Wiseman's Patty Picklicious CD for the retro spotty papers that cover the bird house - made from a Sizzix die and an empty cardboard box. The bird is from the Tim Holtz Birdcage die. It has also been cut from stiff cardboard and then covered in modelling paste and I used a small embossing tool to make the relief spots on its body. When it was dry I used Spun Sugar Distress stains to colour. I also used the Spun Sugar to stencil the vine die cut (using the negative part) onto the card. The green vine is the die cut from the same Sizzix die.
Thanks for stopping by and do feel free to leave a comment, I appreciate every one!

I love the effect you have achieved by stenciling through the negative of the die cut and the papers for the bird house are lovely. A great idea for a card with some recycling as well.

This is different. Love the bird house and the dotty bird. Lots of work here but worth it as it looks brilliant.

This is so clever. The use of the flourish for the background makes a perfect backdrop for the house. It all ties in so beautifully.

Wonderful way you've used your Sizzix dies on this very creative bird and birdhouse card, Janet. The use of the modeling paste worked really well to give texture.
