Little Birdhouse Card

This card measure 5ins x 5ins and uses a hand cut, white linen effect card blank.
Bird and Bird House CardThe wooden birdhouse tags came from The Works (current stock) and I wondered if they would marry up with some little wooden bird embellishments that I have had forever.  I was thrilled when the proportions were perfect!

I put a scrap of red, spotty paper behind the heart to give the birdhouse a little colour, stuck on the bird and then added punched leaves and flowers with tiny pearl centres

…… but, it looked a little bland, so I carefully added turquoise to the eaves, an extra flower on the bottom and a little faux stitching and sets of three dots here and there with a black fine liner pen, which all bought the card together.

This is adorable. great for many occasions. Adding the colour to the roof with the faux stitches (you're so good at that) was a good call.
