| | Hello I altered a $1 birdhouse and turned it into a pretty holiday decoration. First, I painted all the edges in dark cranberry and let it dry. I adore the brand new holiday dp from Basic Grey called *Wassail* and used it thru-out this project. I used a very stong liquid adhesive so the papers wouldn't lift over time.
The dove and greeting are from Rupa Shevde's *The Magic Of Christmas* set, which is available at Gina K. Designs. I stamped them in white craft and embossed them in gold. I added a distressed bow and button for trimming on the front and tied SU! chocolate satin ribbon thru the hanger loop to finish. Thanks for looking and have a great day! |
