Today I made a card for the challenge at:
I was really trying to write out some cards to put them in the mail. I struggle with that part of the process. I LOVE making cards, but it also makes me happy to be able to give someone something homemade, however I'm really bad at the writing. I honestly did have all good intentions of mailing out a few more cards today, However I found myself looking for a card challenge to play along with and before I knew it the writing was put aside and I was happily stamping again. I think this is another super lovely sketch to work with, so I couldn't pass up this opportunity. The center of this wreath just seemed to say.. "add something" So I searched for the special something and came up with a bird house, so after stamping, coloring, and cutting it out, it didn't match up to the WOW factor yet, so I added a bit of sparkle silver twine behind it. That is the aha moment❕
The stamps featured in today's card are:
Stampin UP ~Hello Friend
Stampin UP~1996 Bird House Mini
HP posed so nice for a picture so I thought I would add that here too. He's such a little sweetheart.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping.
Such a pretty wreath surrounding the sweet little birdhouse! What a beautiful card!

Pretty wreath and love the finished inside! Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable, PJ! I love bird houses and this one is super cute. Great choice of colors, and the chunkier word style of the "hello" in those fabulous colors is very eye catching, the perfect contrast to the delicate, petite images that make up the wreath and birdhouse images. I would have been impressed if you had stopped there but you are right, the silver twine really adds a nice bit of "wow" without overwhelming the images. Well done! Thanks for sharing with us this week at AHSC.
