Altered Birdhouse

Happy Sunday. I will be the first to admit that "Michaels" and I don't have the best relationship - so limited to say the least in scrapping supplies, but I really don't have much of an alternative. However, every now and again I'm able to find some pretty cool things...

I bought this birdhouse the other day and decided I wanted to give it a go and take a bit of a break from my layouts. It was quite fun actually!

Here's the side view with the gorgeous papers. I rarely do blue but just had to have these ones.

I pretty much Mod Podged everything in case I decide to use it as an actual birdhouse rather than an indoor decoration. The roof is covered with patterned paper by Crate and then I layered with burlap as I felt it was too striking for the piece. Again, the THICK layer of Mod Podge ontop has made it rock hard.

The flowers are from Petaloo's Mulberry Street Line - Wild Roses in White which I actually inked, misted with Shimmerz Spritz and then painted with Scribbles paint to achieve the worn blue hue to match the one in the patterned paper (which I totally fell in love with - its by K & Co).

It was quite nice to try my hand at something new - for whatever reason I can always complete altered projects more quickly than layouts... no clue why??

I'll be back tomorrow with another layout to share!

Bye for now!
