Hello crafty friends and Happy Tuesday to you all!
Today I have a super sweet card I created using Cheery Lynn Dies, and some Vintage Lace papers. Love the Bird House, it's absolutely gorgeous! I decided to just distress it a little and add some Viva Pearls to decorate it a bit.

The card base is 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" and is a cream card stock. Next I added layers of the Vintage Lace design papers and card stock.

For the greenery I used Cheery Lynn's Olive Branches, Flourish #1, Flourish # 3, and Tiny Flowers kit for all the flowers. Love how small they are, and I think they go perfectly with this beautiful bird house. I did add some Stickles to the centers of each of the flowers, and distressed each flower using a blue ink.

The bird house was cut using the coordinating design paper, and then backed with the same blue card stock. I distressed the bird house using a blue ink, and did that lightly, as to not overpower the beauty of the birdhouse. Next I decided to add some pearl dots using the Viva Pearl pen.

I love the look of this card and the Shabby Chic/Vintage feel it gives. Super fun to create, as I always enjoy working with Cheery Lynn Dies! Hope you enjoyed my post for today!
Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie from Debbie's Time Out with you today. There are so many beautiful bird sounds outside and birds fluttering everywhere, so I though I would go for a bird themed card.
I used the French Lattice Small die as a stencil for my background. I cut it out and then placed it on my paper and inked different shades of oranges and yellows on top of it then removed it leaving a beautiful background. I have kept the colored die cut and will use it on a up coming project that I will post on August 2nd so watch for it.
I cut and inked the Fancy Bird House  which has wonderful detail in it. The birds are from the Feathered Friends  and I cut them from a pattern paper which I think makes them look whimsical and cute. The corners are the Lace Corner Deco J . The sunflower fills in the corner, and I used the leaves from the Sunflower Set to add to the sunflower.
