I've been playing with that cork again.
That cork die cuts so easily!
I thought it would make a nice birdhouse.
By cutting it twice and stacking it, I got wonderful dimension.
You can see it better here.
I used 2 layers of the birdhouse and one of the roof.
When I decided to cut the second one, I cut the wrong birdhouse.
So I ended up with another card.
I popped them on some of that watercolor piece that I used here.
We're playing with cork, canvas and/or felt at
and having lots of fun.
Challenge ends on the 24th.

ADD A DIE CUT
Hope you'll join us.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteBonnie, I love that background, great idea with the random stamping and spraying with water. It works perfectly with your little cork bird house. Love it :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute and clever!
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable!! Cork makes the PERFECT bird housees. Love the soft green backgrounds for both. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Bonnie...love the background and especially the cork houses....now where did I put that cork?...probably that old it would disintegrate!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are just adorable Bonnie! Love those little cork bird houses and the sweet little birds. Great backgrounds and a cool technique! Have a wonderful day my friend! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx

LOVE both of these cards Bonnie!! The cork makes a beautiful birdhouse and just love your colorful little birdies perched at the openings! And your background is perfect! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE both your cork bird houses, sweet little birds and soft fade away leaves backgrounds. Simply beautiful CAS designs, my friend. TFS Hugs..
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Love the layered cork birdhouses. They have so much dimension. Your backgrounds are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute cards and the look of the cork adds a lot. The cards help us get in the "Think Spring" mode.
ReplyDeleteCork makes adorable bird houses, Bonnie. I can't believe you had that wonderful background left over let alone remember from when. That's organization.
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea to use cork for birdhouses - love them with their sweet little coloured birds! And the background is superb with the subtle stamping of the leaves on it.
ReplyDeleteHello Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteI am delighted with your backgrounds !! They look so delicated and soft. The cork looks so good on this background. They work together perfectly in color. These are really two beautiful cards.
Hugs,

Excellent idea to stack the cork as you did, for such fab dimension. Made a delicious bird house, and I'm loving that background too. Thought it was a mopup paper from brusho or spray work but it is so pretty with this nifty cork house. (yes, I like the little birds waiting to enter also!) Clever to use the wrong cut to make a new home for the red bird too. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteTwo fun cards and great use with that cork. I ended up using a place mat from the house for my cork, which was really thick. Needless to say that if I use the placements now I can only lay up for five instead of six!! x
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, love that you cut out the wrong birdhouse. These cards are ZEN-fully wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the softness of your backgrounds. Loving the layers in the cork, sooo much depth. Truly fantastic and creative. xxx
You are the queen of beautiful backgrounds and the cork birdhouse is darling!
ReplyDeleteSo creative, Bonnie! I love your corky birdhouse idea. The added dimension is brilliant. Adorable cards.
ReplyDeleteLove these cork birdhouses, Bonnie! So creative! Have a good weekend, friend!
ReplyDeleteTwo sweet, sweet cards Bonnie! Love the tiny house with the subtle greens behind it and the little hello (whispered by a bird!) and then the lovely new home card with the tiny red bird! Julia xx
ReplyDeletean adorable card! I am so glad you played along with us at simon says stamp wednesday challenge!

ReplyDeleteI love the soft green backgrounds too. Hideko xx
Oh, these cards are wonderful! The cork is perfect for the sweet, little birdhouses but it's the gorgeous soft background that has me swoon!
ReplyDeleteThese cards are great. LOVE the cork and your backgrounds are superb!
ReplyDeleteThese are such sweet bird houses Bonnie, and as you aay have die cut beautifully from the cork. I love the quite loose watercolour leaf background and love the addition of the little yellow and red birds. x
ReplyDeleteOohhhh! Aahhhh! This is so lovely. The cork is a great touch
