IÂ’ve fooled around today with trying to mount a one-stroke painted gourd birdhouse that I practiced painting this past weekend. Thanks to the Sketch Challenge this week (SC260), I didn't have to think too hard.
I only used two stamps (pictured), from Hero Arts and the words YouÂ’re the best by Studio G. This was a $1 stamp from MichaelÂ’s Craft store. I really like some of the new images that they have been putting out in the bin.
I dunno if you can see the glimmer, but I dusted a few layers with bronze perfect pearls. It has a nice shimmer in real life.
I like the tiny oainted flowers. In fact I added them as an afterthought because the tree looked kind of ugly with out them. If you want to see a close up of them, click here: http://craftiblog.wordpress.com/2009...rd-bird-house/
A few of the supplies that I used wereÂ…
recycled corrugated card board (torn horizontal strip covered with ribbon); 2 sizes of Cuttlebug circle dieÂ’s; SUÂ’s scallop circle, Nestabilities rectangle, ribbon, prima flower, crystal, bronze perfect pearls, clear embossing powder, distress inks in various colors, versa mark ink and a butt load of 3-d mounting tape lol!
I have a few more practice one stroke painted pieces that I worked on. IÂ’ll have to see if I can add them to a card in the near future.
