Birdie House

This week at the Hambo Hoedown, the image was "Birdhouse Estate". It was a great image to color.  Also the challenge was to add "Scallops". If you haven't played along before, check it out at http://hambochallenges.blogspot.com/.  Here is what I created.

Here's the card partially open

Stuff I Used:

Image-"Birdhouse Estate" digital image by Hambo Stamps

Colored with Copics

Leaves-YG03, YG06

Tree-E11, E13, E15

Birdhouses-BG01, BG05, BG09, YG03, YG06

DP-DCWV Stack 8

Cardstock-Recollections

Scallop punch-Fiskars

Sentiment-Hambo Stamps digital

Faux stitching-Le Pen Oriental Blue

Clouds-Scrappy Cat Blueberry Blast ink

I colored the image with my Copics and then masked off the tree and birdhouses with Inkadinkado masking paper.  I cut a stencil and inked the clouds in the background. Cut out around the leaves and popped up the image on foam squares. Then popped up another pair of colored birdhouses on foam squares.  I punched the edge of the front flap with the scallop punch. And punched another piece of green paper to show on the edge. I colored a stripe of Oriental blue on the green strip to show through the holes in the top flap.

Hope you like what I've done and love to read your comments.
