Spring Home Sweet Home

Happy Thursday and thanks for stopping in today. I have a fun card to share today that I made for this week’s Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

Ok….so I fudged a little on the sketch because I didn’t end up using those buttons things on my card. I decided the branches and leaves were plenty.

I love the sweet coordinating pink designer paper and was in the mood for something springy. I popped up the birdhouse, added foliage and popped up the birdy.

I cut the tiny leaves off of a rock fern and attached to the branches, put tiny pieces of mounting tape on the backside of the leaves and attached to the card front. I finished by adding lots of tiny flowers to both the tree branches and the foliage around the bird. The perfect finishing touch was the tiny flowers and foliage right over the heart opening.KC-MFT-HOmespun-1-left_thumb

The week is winding down and I am looking forward to the weekend and some extra stamping time. I hope to be back tomorrow with something special if my work day allows the time.

  2. I love your cards they are absolutely beautiful. Sadly for my purse you keep using dies I have never seen before like this lovely bird house and I just have to have them. Thank you for your inspiration.

    By the way thanks for the reply in December about the punches you use to make the tiny flowers, I have since obtained them and love how they look.
    Are you still going to add to your tutorials, or have you added and I just don’t see the template to make the portfolio, that held the set of cards, that you had made for your boss?
    Just curious.
    Thanks again,
    hugs

  6. Such a beautiful card Kittie ~ I don’t know how you manage to have the patience to glue down the little pink buds & foilage. You have inspired me to get my “too many to count” punches out and get creating!!
    TFS 😀
