Two Little Dickie Birds

Hello lovely creative friends :)

Samantha here with my second make for October and I couldn't resist altering a cute little wooden bird house with Susan's fabby 'At Ground Level' stamp set, how adorable is this cute little bird?

I do feel so sorry for the birds in cold weather, they all need little houses like this!

I began by cutting strips of card and punching flower shapes and gluing on the house before painting. It gives a wonderful layer of texture.

The tree, flowers and bird were stamped on some shrink plastic using black Staz On, I find this best for shrink plastic. Then I used Prismacolour pencils to colour. I shrunk them using a heat gun and glued in place.

The final touch was some a little heart for their homestead and some green paper rafetta for some bird bedding.

The whole project took just a couple of hours and was great fun.

The lovely stamps I used are shown below and can be found here

I do hope I have inspired you and I wish you a lovely day,
