Hello friends! Today I'm sharing an easy and fun to make birthday card. I've created an outdoor scene featuring two sweet birdies and their neighboring houses hanging from a tree branch.
Now of course my branch and birdhouse scene first needed a pretty sky background. I used the Fluffy Cloud Border dies to cut out masks for creating some soft billowy clouds with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
Next I used the Tree Branch and Build-a-Birdhouse die sets for the branches, birdhouses, and little birds. I die cut all the pieces from white card stock. I used small blending brushes and the following Distress Oxide inks to color: Blueprint Sketch, Tattered Rose, Rustic Wilderness, Crushed Olive, Kitsch Flamingo, Wild Honey, and Walnut Stain. I added all the die cut elements onto the background with thin foam adhesive so they all would be popped up a bit.
For the birthday sentiment I used stamps from the Little Birdie stamp set. There's separate words and short phrase stamps in this set. That made it easy to customize a birthday greeting and integrate it into the scene in three places. Lastly, I trimmed the completed scene panel down to be slightly smaller than A2 size and adhered it to a pale yellow card base.
