Hello! Today, I am sharing a Thank You card featuring the Penny Black Rustic Birdhouse die set.
- I cut the birdhouse from cardstock, including Lawn Fawn Paper Bag (post and birdhouse trim). Lighter colors such as SU Crumb Cake were too light. I sponged Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink on the edges of the trim and post. I cut the bird from SU Blueberry Bushel and the body of the birdhouse from SU So Saffron.
- I cut the flowers with dies in the Penny Black Hanging Plants and A Garden sets (SU Poppy Parade with SU Daffodil Delight centers).
- I stamped the sentiment on the card background (SU Pool Party).
- I used the Spellbinders July 2019 Small Die of the Month kit – Spellbinders – “Besties Forever” – to cut the grass (SU Garden Green). I tried a lighter green for the back row of grass but it just didn’t work with the colors. I’ve also discovered that Penny Black now has a grass edge die 51-549 Garden Edgers.
Supplies: Penny Black Rustic Birdhouse, Hanging Plants, A Garden, and Silver Linings die sets; Penny Black Flower Sparks stamp set
Sweet summer card with the bright colors and blue sky!
So cute. Love that blue card stock for the bird. The details of the dies on the bird house and post are really nice. Happy card!
Darling little scene, Jean! Just love all the die cut elements!!
Great card Jean – love the die-cuts and the colours work fabulously together
