I'm really into birdhouses this week but I'm still trying to convince Mother Nature that it's time for Spring. :-D We start a new challenge today at QKR Stampede and our theme is always Anything Goes. This sweet little image came from QKR and is called "Birdhouse and Vines."
I colored the image with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils, then cut it with a Bo Bunny die. The dark green frame is also a Bo Bunny cut. The background paper is embossed with a Swiss Dots folder but I had added embossing ink to the dot side before I ran the folder through the Cuttlebug. When it came out, I sprinkled it with glittery EP and heat embossed it. It had to be trimmed to the size I wanted and I mounted the image pieces onto it. This is a new technique for me and I'm going to be doing more of it.
I printed the sentiment and mounted it onto a scrap of the embossed paper. Finally, I added bakers' twine and the die cut, burlap, butterfly.

Love the dark colored frame around that cute and pretty birdhouse! Outstanding card Connie.
I used to collect birdhouses - for inside the house and out - and this reminds me one that I used to have.
