ATS Blog Hop!

Happy Friday, everyone! Wanna win a $5 gift certificate to All That Scraps? A few of us on the DT are having a little fun with the set Olivia's Birdies. Discover which one of us is giving away the gc on her blog -- you have to do a little blog hopping to find out! :)

For my card, I created the card base with Always Artichoke cardstock, cutting away all but 1.5" of the front panel. I scalloped the edge of the front flap with a corner rounder (paper guide removed). I then ran that flap through the Cuttlebug with the Forest Branches embossing folder. I created the scene on white cardstock, then attached it behind the front flap. The birdhouse and birds were stamped, colored, cut out, and mounted on dimensionals. I stamped an additional roof onto brown paper from my BasicGrey Sugared pack. I cut it out and mounted it on the birdhouse with more dimensionals. I used some natural hemp twine to "tie" the birdhouse to the branch. I stamped grass from the Sugarplums Scenery Set along the bottom. I sponged the front panel with Soft Sky ink. All coloring was done with Copics. I added Dew Drops along the top to finish the card.

ETA: I realized after I posted this card that I forgot to back the white cardstock with another layer, since the Copics bled through. I cut a 5.5" x 4.25" piece of Soft Sky cardstock and adhered it behind the front panel. It doesn't show from the front, and the inside is much cleaner!!

After I was finished with the card, I realized it looks like a mother bird sending her little one off to school for the day! I obviously have back-to-school on the brain! :)

Now, check out the blogs of my ATS teammates to see who is giving away the gift certificate! You will surely be inspired along the way!
