I had so much fun with this card ! I started with a pre-colored image from Beccy's Place which best matched the optional colors from their challenge this month. I also used a sketch which I found at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.
I used an oval die from QuicKutz to cut the image, then inked the edges with a ProMarker. The patterned background paper is from one of my DCWV stacks, but since it was a scrap, I have no idea which one. I matted it with pistachio green paper.
The three strips were cut from textured 'leather' CS and backed with stone-washed denim. All of those were also scraps. I added baker's twine and a die cut flower. I colored the flower with ProMarkers, then added glitter for a bit of sparkle. The center is a peach colored, Liquid Pearls drop. I printed and hand cut the sentiment.

Such a sweet birdhouse; one I'm sure that, in real life, would attract a number of feathered friends! Thank you for sharing your creativity in the Addicted to Stamps and More gallery.

What a fabulous card Connie - really lovely image as well. I do love the elongated oval die you used, a really useful shape I would imagine.
Been having a wry smile here - I hadn't realised you'd been on so many DTs!! And there was me fretting, duh.

Isn't it great when a card just comes together NC? And especially when it turns out as nicely as yours. You've done a wonderful job coordinating all the colours and patterns, and I like the sketch you chose for inspiration. Fabulous job!
Cheers,
Beccy
