Christmas Birdhouse

Make It Monday #265: Layered Dry Brushing

 Lizzie Jones Lizzie has a fun video up and a beautiful

 card using this technique. 

Merry Monday #219 {Birds}

Hello! Hope you all had a nice weekend!

We took a drive up to the mountains to see the fall colors.

It was beautiful! We were blessed with a storm and lots of rain here in CA.

 I blended the background  with an old brush and a mix of spring rain inkers.

 My first two attempts were way too dark.

I always knew I was going to mix these two sets (Winter Village and Post & Parcel) 

and create a birdhouse . 

Thank You!

Fun With Make it Monday

Make It Monday #264: Die-cut Stencil Shapes

Melissa Phillips created some beautiful cards on her MIM

video, using stencil shapes made from die cuts.

Good morning friends!

I created my stenciled background using a die left on 

my desk from this; Card Here

I used the Make It Market Kit: Post & Parcel Kit! (Sold Out)

You could buy the paper and fussy cut this out.

No stamping on this card, today! I added some Nuvo Crystal

Drops and chunky glitter on the mailbox.

I had this little post all made up from when I first got the kit, it was adhered to a tag, I took it off so

 I could add it to this stenciled background I created, on Papertrey Ink vellum . 

Again I learned another fun technique from the amazing designers at Papertrey Ink ! 

Thank you!

Let not your heart be troubled
