Shabby Chic Bird House

This fancy fold card has been on my work table for over a week, in different stages of completion.  And, today, out of necessity, I finally finished it.
Folded size 4"x5.5"
 The digi image I used is called Shabby Chic Birdhouse, from Beccy's Place.  I printed up the uncolored version, used markers and pencils to color it before fussy cutting. 
 I popped it on the teal cs framed with a glittered paper die cut.


The green bird house roof was paper pieced.  The ornate woodwork below the roof was die cut from glitter paper.  I decided to add a bit of twine in the bird's beak as nesting material and to cover a little blemish in the paper.
The wood birds are old embellishments from CTMH.
Inside of card: top, bottom and sides are washi tape
These sentiment stamps are by Stampendous.

  1. Wow!! This is an amazing card Debi, you've done an awesome job putting it together. The collection of papers is fabulous, and I just love all the different die cuts. You did a fantastic job colouring the birdhouse, I especially like the addition of the woodwork under the roof line. Great job!
    Cheers,
