Gate Fold Birthday



-
This gate fold birthday card was made using my favorite digi image by Beccy Muir, the shabby chic birdhouse.  I popped the image and punched a hole so you could see the tiny bird inside.  The sentiment stamp is by CTMH and was heat embossed so it shows up well on the DP.  I colored the image with markers and did a little sponging around it.

I am entering this card in the following:
Beccy's Place July Challenge - use a Beccy's Place image
Sparkle n Sprinkle July Challenge - use glitter, flocking or embossing powder
The Paper Shelter Challenge #166 - Birthday card with sentiment
The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - Happy Birthday
Digi Choosday Challenge wk 27 - Punches/ Die Cuts  (punch for the hole; die cuts for the scalloped ovals)
Die Cut Divas Challenge - Button or bow
The Cupboard Trilogy Challenge #24 - Birthday
Love to Create Challenge #123 - Fussy and Fancy or Clean and Layered
My Craft Spot Challenge #143 - Birthday


The digi is also available from Sparkle n Sprinkle as an individual stamp or in a set as well as a cutting file and scrapbook pages.

    Great card Debi! I love the way the gatefold opening frames the birdhouse image. I also really like the ribbon and bow you added down the side.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
