Good Friday Morning! We have a new challenge starting today at QKR Stampede where our theme is always "Anything Goes." I took the opportunity to add another birthday card to my stash with this CAS design using QKR image "Birdhouses" and sentiment "Birdie Told Me." Remember that QKR Stampede images come in both rubber and digital, whichever is your preference.
I colored the birdhouses and background in the image with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils, then fussy cut it leaving two spots where the image went 'off the edge.' To give a little texture and dimension, I stacked the image onto 3 more layers of CS, hand cutting each one as I added it so that the final image piece is 4 layers of CS. I inked the edges to make it pop a bit.
I adhered that onto a confetti CS base. I printed the sentiment, matted it with turquoise CS, and hand cut that. I used baker's twine to wrap the card and die cut (Cheery Lynn) a butterfly out of burlap paper. I 'dyed' it with a ProMarker, then added one tiny rhinestone to the butterfly body for a bit of sparkle and called it finished.

Love those sweet birdhouses! I find that the birds that come to my yard prefer to improvise when coming to housing! I think only 1 birdhouse of mine has ever gotten occupants! But they love to make nests in my gazebo! Your card is lovely!!
