Accucut Framed Birdcage

Here is a project using one of the Accucut Bird Cages die. I die cut the birdcage out of grungeboard so that it is bendable and pliable.  I wanted to create a mixed media art.  The background designer paper is from the Prima Engraver paper pad, and I used the Prima Checker stencil and acrylic paint to add interest in the background.  The black frame is from Ikea.

The grungeboard was given a patina look by coloring it with different Tim Holtz metallic distress stains and black archival ink.  The tutorial I followed is from Swirlydoos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOEHjc2uAZA.  Here is a side view so you can see how the birdcage curves up off the page.

Added some I Am Roses flowers and Tim Holtz metal and Spare Parts bling.  The wooden bird is from Michaels.

 

 

Added some lace and dangling crystal bling and the Inspire bulb is by Prima.

Accucut Shadowbox Frame

Here is a project I made using an Accucut die which is meant to be a page or frame, and turned it into a shadowbox.  It is one of the dies from the Theme Album set.  I also wanted to dive into the Webster's Pages warehouse sale box that I bought last year, and use the goodies from that. 

Here's what the chipboard piece looked like as I started to shape it into a shadowbox:

The frame on the top is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set and die set called Pretty Peonies.  I added a chipboard heart and some satin ribbon and pearl strand.

Added a handmade flower, I Am Roses flowers and leaves, Tim Holtz key with sheer ribbon, and fussy cut some flower images from the paper collection.

 

I also created a video talking more about my project:
