Here are some close ups….
The front view…
I covered the Box & Bird Hoses with the Flower Fairies Collection….
I glued the Corrugated paper on to chipboard, then painted it with clear gesso. I then glued the box onto the Corrugated base. I then glued a DA doily onto the left corner, as a start of the flower cluster.On top of the Doily I glued on the DA Leafy Stems, that I had altered using DA crackle paint, LuminArt Silk paint & Prills. I then glued the Swirl Vine & Lavender onto the base, that I had altered as I did the Leafy Stems. Final step was to build the cluster, using dyed silk ribbon, burlap, rustic blooms & the cut out Flower Fairy….
I used DA Fancy Trim #5, as a border on the front & sides of the box…
Here is a close up of on of the Birdhouses, using the Flower Fairies Cutout Sheet, DA Mini Bricks, small Branch & 49 and Market Mini Blooms…
The other 2 Bird Houses, using DA Vase, Laurel Sprigs, Leafy Stems & Mini Lamp posts…
I made a cobblestone pathway, using DA mini Cobblestone, that I applied the clear crackle on, then I glued Prills in between the cobblestones…
Here are a few more close ups…
I used Flower Fairies Lost Postcard for the inside of the box…
This is another altered Birdhouse I did, then took photos of it & did a LO…

For the roof I cut out strips from the BS of Conservatory sheet, then covered wood sticks with the strips, inked the edges, glued the sticks on to the roof & applied Clear Crackle Varnish. Once the crackle dried I glued on the DA Borders…
I used lots of clear crackle paint on the bird house & embellishing..
The Bird House is embellished with cut outs from the Heirloom Cut Out Sheet, 49 and Market Basic Roses, Lavender, Prills, Dusty Attic Chipboard, Prima Metal Clock & Prima Bling…
Once I completed the birdhouse, I took photos in our garden & did a LO, using the most of the same products that I had used on the bird house…

I used: Stop Whinning, Third Place, Plum Crazy & A Penny Saved
I trimmed the edges of the Heirloom Sheet, cut out a circle in the center, then distressed the edges. Under the circle I glued a piece from the Serenity Sheet, then glued  this onto the BS of the Conservatory Sheet. the next step was to do some hand stitching.  I glued the barrel on to a piece of chipboard, then painted it with clear crackle…
I love Prills & on this LO I used 4 different colors of prills…
The paints used are LuminArt Silks..The Barrel flower clusters, are from the cut out sheet, plus DA flower buds, mini branches & mini blossoms..
Thank you so much for taking the time to look….Rachelle
