SOME METAL!!

sooo I thought.......hhhhhmmmmm Metal it is!! I began to ponder and wonder if I could use my Treading Water border punch and Ten Seconds Studio Metal....and low and behold....it worked!!! I was sssssooooo EXCITED. I cut a piece of metal, ran it through my Swiss Dots embossing folder, border punched the metal and created shingles. I adhered them to the roof with Multi Medium!








I painted the wooden birdhouse with Lettuce acrylic paint. Then I adhered G45 "Once Upon A Springtime" oooohhh can't get enough of this paper!!

I accented the face of the house with buttons (a DT gift from Simon Says Stamp) and see the door.....it's an upside down Keyhole.


Of course, it had to have a flower garden. I crocheted and colored 2 flowers, then there are my Grunge Paper Roses and 2 metal Foliage flowers. I attached the flowers to Memo pins with Glossy Accents.

And do you see those wings......OMW I just love them. I cut them out of cardboard, peeled off some of the paper, the places where the paper was left, I painted with Picket Fence Crackle Paint. I then inked the paint and dabbed on a bit of Distress Stickles. I adhered them with the ever amazing Multi Medium.

I have to say I think my favorite part of my birdhouse is the vintage thread spools and I have no idea where I got them from.

So......when you think of Metal....what creative ideas pop into your mind???
