Tulip Bird House...

I've used a flat wooden house that I got from the Range to make this little birdhouse.
I painted a basecoat of Pebeo iridescent green and turquoise and then stamped the tulips onto tissue paper with a couple of extras to add to the top.
I added tiny bits of the tissue text to fill in any gaps:

 

The roof is decorated with a chevron stencil and Grunge Paste. I was going to paint over it, but decided to leave it as is:


Finally I die cut some branches and used the bird from CI-357 to perch on top:


Thanks for looking!

Oh, Helen,
das ist bezaubernd...
was für eine süße Idee, das Vogelhäuschen mit diesen bildschönen Tulpen zu verzieren.
Eine fantastische Arbeit.
