Shabby Chic Bird House

Hello! I have an affinity for birds, bird houses and the like so I really enjoyed this fun little project that may or may not be gifted to someone in the future :) The new Inspired By Stamping sets were perfect for a bird themed project and after I purchased a fun cut file from the Silhouette store I was ready to go.

 I chose to work with the Spring Lilacs stamp set and paper pad which are both gorgeous. I cut the bird house base from kraft cardstock and then stamped the script on it in kraft ink. After the decorative paper panels were cut I stamped the flying bird from the Spring Lilacs set onto each panel. I then added just a bit of the large lilac image to each. For the bird on the front of the house I stamped it onto kraft paper with a dark cocoa ink. This birdhouse is actually a box that opens, so the roof section is adhered altogether and slides off the top.

I addeds twine, pearls, princess crochet trim and scor tape that I glittered as well as a couple of cherry blossoms, roses and little leaves. I had so much fun creating this and I hope it inspires you to make something beautiful today!
