WINTER BIRDHOUSE

Hi there,

Today I'd like to share with you another card from the November Reveal. My card today uses the fun image Winter Birdhouse Stamp Set 803.

Winter Birdhouse

I decided to do a little spotlighting technique on my card. So to begin with I stamped the image twice with Memento Tuxedo Black on white cardstock and colored one of the images with Copic Markers: Y13, YR04, R17, E31, E33, E13, E35. I then used different sized punches (1", 1 1/4" and 1 1/2") to cut out the three little birds from the colored image. I then applied Dimensional Glue to the "snowy" parts of the circles. Twinkling Clouds was then applied to the glue and set aside to dry.

On the other black and white version, I applied the new Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste with a paint brush to the patches of snow.

This piece, when dry, was cut out to 3 1/4" x 5 1/2" and was layered to a piece of cream cardstock which had been die cut with the Memory Box Cross Stitched Frame Borders and this was then layered to a black card base.

The little spotlit circles were attached with Foam Squares. The Nuvo Glitter DropsWhite Blizzard and Silver Moondust were applied to the little dots around the image and Moonstone Glimmer Paste was applied to the little snowflakes.

  1. I just love this stamp, and your design is the sweetest ever! So are all the glittery pastes semi-transparent, or only the clear color? Your spotlight technique is wonderful! There's nothing so sweet as birdies in their houses LOL hugs, de
