Hey there and happy Friday! It sure is warming up here in Texas and it's only going to get hotter. Triple digits in the forecast next week, so I'm planning to get busy (and comfy) in my craft room!
For today's card, I wanted to make a fun birthday card for my niece who will be 17 next week. I'm playing along with the "just a note" theme with the Global Design Project and the sketch challenge with Freshly Made Sketches. When I saw the new sketch from FMS, I was trying to think of something vertical when I remembered a set from the Occasions Catalog called Flying Home.
Flying Home was on my pre-order back in December. I love the little birdhouses and just "had" to have this set.. Then life happened and I haven't had the chance to use this set as much as I had hoped. I think I'll keep it - even if it isn't sticking around. ;) To make the birdhouses a little longer/taller, I used my Stamparatus. I was able to cover up the gap with the sentiment.
Cute, right? The sentiment is from Bird Banter which I thought coordinated well. I stamped it on a scrap of paper from this card - you can see the tone on tone Coastal Cabana lines which give it a little extra detail.
I colored the houses with a variety of Stampin' Blends. They are very easy to use and I'm so excited that Stampin' Up! is coming out with even more colors for their Blends collection!
There you have it! Thanks for stopping by on your Friday! (Speaking of Friday... did you check out the Fancy Friday hop?? Don't miss it!)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
Holly
Such a perfect stamp set for the sketch challenge and a wonderful combination of stamps! Thanks for playing along with this week's GDP challenge.
