Hello Friends-
Today I'm sharing the Off The Page Project for Scraps of Elegance May Kit "Mix'd Media"
I absolutely loved this creating with this Kaisercraft Birdhouse!
In case you haven't noticed I have a passion for art dolls and book page fringe. I used the beautiful Blue Fern Studios Happy Accident papers in background as the base for the whole birdhouse. I then used the Prima Art Alchemy Butterfly Spells Acrylic Paint over the edges of the birdhouse. I used some crackle paste and modeling paste with a stencil to create texture and interest in random areas on the roof and edges. I dabbed Prima rust paste on these areas to create a worn patina look.
The front of my birdhouse has one of my favorite art dolls. I used a metal birdhouse found in the Scraps of Darkness Kit and some chipboard birds that covered in a blue acrylic paint and rust paste. Of course I added tons of flowers and leaves found in the floral add on because I just love flowers on my projects!
I wanted to do something different for my roof. I added book page trim and shaped it to look like a big nest. Then I added in some moss and a little birds nest and chipboard birds.
The sides of the birdhouse are embellished as well. I used a lot of elements from the Tim Holtz Ephemera Botanical found in the Elements Add On. I also used my book page fringe along the edges.
Here is a little close up of the front. Isn't she adorable?

I also stamped randomly with the Blue Fern Clear Stamps Halftones found in the Elements Add On.

I stenciled both with paste and distress ink.

I added some wooden feet and painted with the acrylic paint found in the Color Add On.
This project was so much fun I loved creating it!
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you for stopping by!
