You would have thought this would be an easy one. There are so many banner options but none of them called my name so I was just flipping through my dies and the first thing that caught my eye was actually the branch. What could I hang from a branch? Well, duh - birdhouses!! The set that I have with a variety of smaller houses is Bird Houses by Paper Rose. It actually comes with poles to sit the birdhouses on. You can see a pole with a little picket fence in the die just above my watermark. But obviously I needed to hang them from the branch. I picked three bright colors and built them with all three colors in each one. I had it all adhered when I realized I didn't have a sentiment. I was not going to stamp a sentiment at that point because I wasn't going to risk messing up the whole panel. So I had to find a die cut sentiment that didn't overwhelm the birdhouses and preferably was sized to fit in the corner vs. across the entire card. That was my only criteria - I found this one and I love how it all went together!
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
