Design Team Challenge with Ginger

Good morning everyone!!

Today we have Ginger and her wonderful

project to show off. We have the most talented ladies

on our Design Team- I am so happy to be able 

to work with all of them!!

Here is what Ginger has to say about her project;

 Yes, when I was given all the items that we had to use it really took my breath away.  I could not imagine what I could come with and I thought for several days.  Finally...I thought...why not make a birdhouse.  You see, I collect birds and birdhouses and this just might work.

I first painted the birdhouse with white Gesso.  I had in my stash this cute paper which looks like old wood that had been painted.  I painted these cute little birds blue and used a fine tip marker to outline around each one.  I found pretty little blue stones to make their eyes.  I was given a clear square and added behind it Home Sweet Home on a white piece of cardstock and added light pink around the edges.  I went outside and got a little twig and moss so the little bird would have something to sit on.  I added a half circle of cardstock, flowers, buttons, butterfly, stick pins, and tickets to complete the look. 

I took the chipboard pieces and painted them a lime green and then added streaks of brown.  Once they dried I used Rock Candy Crackle paint.  Then added the pink and brown ribbon with another little bird.  I painted the word create and used a fine tip marker to outline around it.   Then added all the other little goodies like the heart, button, and flowers.  I was given the string of pearls so I decided to add that piece to the top which gives me a way to hang the birdhouse up!

 On the back I cut the doily and glued it on, added the half circle chipboard pieces, and then the little bird, flowers, and the cute little tree.

On this I added the chipboards, ribbons, buttons, ticket, heart, flower, and the word art.  

This challenge was a pleasure to complete.  It started off slow but I rather like the outcome!

Thank you for taking a peek!
