Tim time birdhouse

Hello there! Its another birdhouse today but this time inspired by all things Tim for the Vintage Journey challenge. I've got a sale coming up in in just over a week and I'm trying to get lots of non-card items ready to see if they sell any better. Its got to be worth a try and oh so much fun to do! When thinking about this challenge I knew I wanted to use the umbrella man - just because for me he is so iconic!


I started by painting the house with gesso then with a light grey acrylic paint. Next I used Tims sunray mask to add rays of weathered wood distress ink to the sides of the house. 


Next came the background stamping with the stamps from the Chemist set - the formulae ones - then I used Tims stencil and embossing paste to get the black dots. I added some rub -ons - numbers and quotes then the adage tickets. I die cut the umbrella man and added him then finally painted the roof black and added the word band on the back.


I hope you like it - I did have fun making something all Tim other than a tag and would like to enter this into the vintagejourney-anything-tim.challenge. Not sure if its very vintage but its definitely all Tim!!!

Hope you have a good day today and thanks for dropping by!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx

    It is a wonderful project Rachel, you are so right about umbrella man being iconic and he looks great on your money box. I love how you used the sunray stencil in the background and also the way umbrella man stands out so strikingly.

    With my official hat on, thank you too for joining in our 'Anything Tim' challenge over at A Vintage Journey. Hugs, Anne xx
