BGC#55 - WELCOME HOME - ANETA

Hello everybody on Monday morning!

It's my (Aneta's ) turn to inspire you in our newest Welcome-home-challenge. I prepared something special and creating it for you gave me a lot of fun, but...

Let's start with the rules first:

• In this challenge we want to see the emphasis on the word "HOME"

• You can make Cards , 3d projects , canvases , or Layouts 

• Your project must show a visible connection to the word HOME , it can be just the word HOME written on your project or you can make something that shows elements from your house.

• Think in the line of shaped cards , Layouts with your house pictures , 3d Bird houses , Bird cages etc. (these are just examples, you are free to depict the theme any way you like.)

•  Deadline to enter - until 11:55 PM IST on 31st July 2014.  

As usually, we have gorgeous prizes for you sponsored by

and they are:

1 Ranger Perfect Pearls

1 colorbox mini - frost white

4 sponge daubers 

Let's see my project now. It's a... bird house.  I was so excited creating it, that I totally forgot to prepare a small tutorial for you. Don't worry, you will find some hints below.

Because I made it the first time, I used ready base of the bird house, similar to this one:

I started with cutting out the whole in the front of the house bird with Big Shot Sizzix in the choosen sheet of paper. This same way I prepared the circle with dots.

Then I sticked together elements of the house and pieces of pattern paper and cut them out.The back wall is decorated with a paper on the both sides (don't forget about it! inside is visible from the outside).
I inked all edges of the walls, floor and roof and glued them. In the end, I added adhesive pearls and paper birds (cuts-out from Tilda's pad, which I've chosen for this project).

I tried to describe my process of creating as simple as possible and I hope that is clear for you. :-)

All my supplies are: cardstock base of the bird house by Rapakivi, Paper Pad Gardenparty by Tilda, Distress Ink Vintage Photo, adhesive gems, double-sided tape, 3D foam tape, cuttind pad and cutting knife.
