Look how nice they look together! Quite a calming colour combo.
D = Die cutting machines
... and not just the 'cutting' side of die-cutting more what else can be done with these very useful machines - which is why my first projects is this cute little altered birdhouse - one of my favourite pieces that I've made. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUnLpcQawUk3YxPUQek3eRRN1jUsfuDJYo3h_JX605DqNrglvo0KS3RmUaTXNr90Ju8L4C1yIuKc_2nvg5boYIPsljMbWpyTkrVID_zVzhKNEsfsfEEcWaxe2XNx3T08jgYsk/s640/birdhouse+2+pics.jpg)
The roof of the house is covered in metal that has been run through the die cut machine (Big Shot) inside an embossing folder - I chose to pain the debossed side because the paint settles inside the impression - giving a limewashed effect - I really like this - lovely and aged.
Thanks for popping by - hope you're as inspired by grey and green as I am! I'm off to get painty... (though obviously I won't be wearing my new apron - thats for clean crafts lol)
Take care
Hi Jo, I love your beautiful birdhouse. Using the debossed side was a great idea, it looks very effective.
ReplyDeleteThe birdhouse is gorgeous. I love the grey and green.
ReplyDeleteIf I was a bird (feathered variety) I would love to live in your bird house, I wouldn't make a mess honest! Colours are lovely and calming and I want to deboss! jo xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, Love your little birdy house, I'm very partial to a spot of green....tis right up my street.
ReplyDeleteOh, nearly forgot to say, I'm loving the whole grey theme, grey is definitely the new black.
