Project Instruction:

Take a 7" x 8 3/4" piece of chipboard & cut a 5" x 6 3/4" piece out of it leaving a 1" border on all sides. Take a sheet of 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" white cardstock & score at 1/2", 1 1/4", 6 1/4" & 7". Rotate the cardstock 90 degrees & score at 1/2", 1 1/4", 8" & 8 3/4". Fold the edges & ink them with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. Assemble the shadow box & stick the 1/2" border to the chipboard frame that we created. Cut a piece of blank frames from the Birds and Blooms Paper Collection & adhere inside the shadow box. Matte the border of the frame with paper from the same paper pad & ink the outer edges with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink. 

Take white cardstock, cut a frame using the 2 largest dies from Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments Die & ink with Worn Lipstick Distress ink. Take a same size of watercolor cardstock & stamp the birdhouse stamp from Home Sweet Home PreCut Set with Black Archival Ink. Color in the image with various distress inks. Adhere it to the shadow box center & adhere the spell binders frame on top as shown. 

Stamp the branches, leaves & blooms from Birds & Blooms PreCut Set, Leafy Branch PreCut Set, Fluffy Birdies PreCut Set using Walnut Stain, Forest Moss & Worn Lipstick Distress Inks respectively. Cut them out with Birds & Blooms Die & Leafy Branch Die. Ink the branches with Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs & Walnut Stain Distress Inks & stick them on the top left corner of the shadow box frame. Ink the leaves with Crushed Olive & Forest Moss Distress Inks & shape them. Ink the flowers with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink, shape them & add a yellow pollen to the center. Arrange the leaves & flowers around the bird house & the branches. Add some pearls & rhinestones to embellish the shadow box. Add tiny drops of black Viva Decor Pearl Pens to the bird's eyes.
