Housewarming

My BIL and SIL and their 4 children have moved into a new home. And they are closer to us!! Yeah!! I created a gift for them and this is the card I made to go with it. This was my second attempt...the first one was going great but then the sentiment ended up crooked, even though I was using my Stamp-a-ma-jig ... gotta hate that!! This awesome birdhouse image is a trio image created by Dina and is sold by smARTworks. It is created by using 3 images on top of each other. There are also a bunch of different sentiments that fit with homes and new houses, including the one on the card. The post is hand drawn and colored to match the birdhouse. The grasses are different stamps from smARTworks. You can`t see it in the picture but there is some light blue sponged along the top edge of the card and green along the bottom. Supplies: Birdhouse Trio, Grasses, Grass Hoppers (smARTworks); Ink - Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip (smARTworks) Yellow and Green (Chalk Box Inks - Hero Arts); Paper - Whisper White; Other - sponge. Enjoy your day. Donelda

I adore the scene you created, Donelda. The softness and autumn-ness are so very pretty and appealing!

Gorgeous card, Donelda! Perfect scene; it looks exactly what I'd like to see when I gaze out to my own garden!!
