Hello my sweet crafty friends! Happy Friday! This was a super busy week - and lots of fun things going on! I started a mid week Bible Study that meets during the day and I think that's a good thing to get me out of the house more instead of hibernating here. We had some awesome sunshine this week too. Looking forward to the weekend and getting caught up around the house now that we've sort of dried out. I have never seen this much rain here and I've lived here 50+ years. It's been unbelievable. Here's hoping the worst of it has passed!! (maybe I prayed to hard for rain this past hot summer) I am super grateful that my husband can fix anything - and right now he has to fix our entire fence that blew over in the storms. Seems like there is never a moment to rest around here. I hope you had a good week and have some fun plans coming up. Hope you are safe and warm where you live. Sending some winter hugs your way.
I have another fun Valentine to share today. I finally used some of my Lawn Fawn Supplies - yay! I got them all organized and found some new things I hadn't used yet. I decided to make a fun birdhouse Valentine!! My card is also my entry into the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #141 - Lots of Heart!
My finished card is an A2 white card base. The gorgeous Quilted Heart coverplate die cut in aqua covers the entire card... Then I had fun creating my scene....
In addition to making my birdhouse, I added a pretty sunshine in the corner!! In this photo you can see the background die details - it's a favorite.
For the large opening in the birdhouse, I wanted to add a detail so I searched through my supplies... Voila! I found the Reverse Scallop Circles die set and die cut one of them to fit perfectly inside the opening. I put dark brown cardstock behind the opening. I used pink cardstock for the roof and also the bottom and the opening.
I die cut the birdhouse from woodgrain cardstock and used Distress Inks to add some shading.... I die cut two birdies and a few hearts to add onto the card since it's a VD Card! I wanted more foliage, so I used the leaves from the Strawberry Frame Die set. I also inked the edges of all the pieces. I stamped the sentiment onto a vellum strip using Black Stazon ink and wrapped it around the bottom of my card.
I added white gel pen accents to the die cuts and splattered on some white paint too. It's such a cheerful card! Those little birdies seem very much in love in their cozy home!
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a great weekend! XOXO I'll be back on Sunday, and again on Monday, with some more new projects!
