Bird Houses

A stamped bird house, birds and flowers on my card today and it wasn't until I saw the picture on the screen that I realised the birdhouse itself was slightly wonky so I stamped and coloured another one and put it over the top, but straight this time so that the finished card looks better..  Quite a few snippets used in the making of this card so I will be popping along to the Playground with it.  Everything came from my various snippet boxes apart from the base card and the woodgrain background.  I used a snippet of tan card and embossed with brick texture, cut various circular windows into another toning piece of card and a brown piece to back it.  The various images were stamped onto scraps of cream card and coloured using pencils - these pieces were then put into place behind the little round 'windows' before assembling the card using thin foam tape for a bit of dimension..  As usual there is a great prize for the lucky person whose name is picked at the end of the two week challenge.

  2. Great card for the Snippets Playground, it’s one of those optical illusions where I can’t tell if the circles are innies or outies until I read your post :) xxx

  4. Hi Val,
    I tried to comment yesterday but Google was having tantrums and not letting me comment on some of the posts.
    So I gave up and thought it would be better today which it is.
    It also wouldn't let me post my card it was also playing silly B excure the swearing.
    Love your wonderful card and what a great way of using snippets too.
    Love all the stamped images inside those circles.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

  5. What a great snippets card. Thanks for submitting homework to the Snippets Playground.
    If you fancy trying out some mulled cider, I understand Carol L is going to try and smuggle some in. Meet us round the back of the bike sheds! x

  6. Great snippets card Val! Like Lesley, I couldn't tell whether your image circles were 'innies or outies' either. They kept changing when I looked away and back again. A lovely design and a lot of fiddly work as wel.

    Hugs
