Happy New Home

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

While I had the stencil out to use with embossing paste for these cards, I did
a piece just using ink.


The hard part was deciding how to use it.

I recently needed a new home card and didn't have any in my stash, so I thought
that a birdhouse hanging on the branch would be a good stash addition.

And since the Birdhouse and Whittle Bird were in the respective die envelopes
just waiting for their turn, the decision was made.

I used a die for the happy and a stamp for the sub-sentiment do I can take
this to Inkspirational.  The die cuts without flowers work for Just Us Girls.

Challenges:
Inkspirational #338 - Sentiments - use two or more
Just Us Girls #769 - Use die cuts no flowers 
Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. - Stencil Week  (thanks for the reminder, Dolly)

  



Card Recipe
Stamps:  Itty Bitty Backgrounds (ret SU)
Ink:   So Saffron, Baked Brown Sugar (SU), Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn (DI)
Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Cherry Cobbler, Natural Ivory, Watercolor
Other:  Slimline Gentle Leaves Stencil (TCW), Whittle Birds die  (PS), Bitty Birdhouse die (SSS), Happy Die (SSS), Caran d'ache Supracolor Pencil (Brown)


Enjoy!

In my next life I'd like to be a bird, Bonnie - I'd choose your little house any day of the week! [and I know just where I'd find a good meal!]
Such a sweet new home card!

Love the little bird house - perfect for a new home card. And the soft stencilled leaves look exactly like fresh spring leaves!

That leafy branch is the perfect home for your birdhouse, Bonnie, and it seems the bird likes it too. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

This is so pretty and so sweet for a new home card - or any occasion, Bon! I love it just using ink! Can I link it to stencil week? (I don't think you have to edit for me to do that.) Hugs, Dolly
