Hey Snazzy followers it's time to share my third and final project this week using the Christmas Cottage Collection by Teresa Collins .... meet the "Distressed Old Bird"
For todays project I started out by using the Studio 490 Birds With Wings Art Part Set which has been covered with the Medallion cardstock from the collection, I then stamped the "music notes" from the Christmas Cottage Clear Stamp Set in Archival Ink (Coffee). I adhered the paper using Cosmic Shimmer Glue
I inked the cog which is from the Steampunk Gears & More Art Parts Set with Distress Ink Festive Berries then stamped the star image from the Christmas Cottage Clear Stamp onto the brad which is from the Decorative Brad Set. The hat is from Blossom Bucket Embellishments by Studio 490 which I have coloured using Treasure Gold (Onyxite).
As with the steps above I used the reverse cardstock from Doily Trees, stamping the "25" image again from the Christmas Cottage Clear Stamp Set this time using Archival Ink (Jet Black) then adding some Tim Holtz Ideaology.
For the legs I cut out cardstock from the collection (Countdown & Tiny Flowers) again adding some Tim Holtz Mini Gears. The wooden base was inked with Distress Ink (Gathered Twigs) and highlighted with Treasure Gold (Renaissance).
I hope you have enjoyed the christmas decor ideas this week, don't forget to leave a comment HERE if you want to be in with a chance of winning this months random comment draw prize.
