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.
