Welcome neighbours

Happy Wednesday. It's mid-week already! I made this sweet little card to welcome our new neighbours. It was fun colouring up the birdhouse stamp which you can find here. I used my Prismacolor pencils and then added a little bling to the flower centers and that sweet butterfly's body. I used a TH Movers and Shapers die to cut the shaped piece and then doodled around it to frame it up and add more whimsy.A black rectangle, a little scalloped edge on a scrap of paper on my table, some baby rickrack, and a computer generated message popped up on foam tape were all adhered to some bright yellow background paper. Then I had one of those Hmmmm moments where I knew it needed a little sumpin-sumpin but didn't know what. The lightbulb flashed and once I recovered from all that thinking:), I added a doodled stitched border. I can think of so many other uses for this stamp that I know you'll be seeing it again. Thanks for visiting!

  1. The black and white really POPS on the yellow background. Cutting the shaped piece was a perfect way to showcase the stamp. Great card, Bonnie!
