Birdhouse ATC Swap

The February swap at the Collage Stuff yahoo group is a birdhouse ATC swap. I wanted my birdhouse ATC's to have a Valentine's Day theme too.  I cut a rough house shape from chipboard and covered it with an old phone book page.  Then I stenciled with acrylic paints using Tim Holtz and The Crafter's Workshop stencils.  I used washi tape for the "roof".  The red hearts and black birds are German scrap (Dresden trim) items available at Collage Stuff.  I painted some paper with gold paint to fill the heart shape. To back the house shape, I used black illustration board embossed with gold detail embossing powder and script stamp.  I edged everything with black paint.  Thanks for coming by to view my birdhouse ATC's!
