Christmas Birdhouse Card

 

At this moment I am not making a lot of cards because the weather is so lovely and I spend a great deal of time outside. We do a lot of bike rides several times a week when the weather permits it or I just sit in my garden and then I am unable to do any papercrafting so at bit fewer posts at the moment. I do try to make some cross stitch cards because that I can do even outside sitting in my yard under my party tent. As far as theme I don't mind making christmas cards all year long. 

So today I am showing you another card I made for Christmas. I made the background paper myself. I didn't use AI for that I still make it myself from scratch using PSP. That way I can get the perfect color that I am looking for. The Merry is from an alphabet of Lawn Fawn. I die cut the letters twice and stacked them together to get a bit of dimension and then I added only the top of the letters into another color. The top and bottom of the birdhouse are from Pretty Pink Posh. The little house itself I made myself because I needed it to be a bit larger. I then used a circle die to cut the circle in the middle. I stacked the birdhouse onto foam for dimension. The leaf branch is from a swing set of Studio Light. And the birds are from Poppy Stamps. I added some ink here and there to make them look more real. The snowflakes are from several different die set.

I love combining die set from more then just 1 brand as I feel all brands have something lovely to offer and you can really use all of them together to make that one special card.

I will be entering this in the following challenges:
Peace On Earth Christmas #90 - Anything Christmas Goes
