Tuesday Morning Sketches #681

 Hello!  Thank you for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this sketch is by Patti.  I loved this sketch, I purposely scheduled it the way I did so I can feature it for a Christmas card.  Of course, you don't have to make it a Christmas card, if you don't want to.


Patti's sketch has an added challenge to add a bird.  Well that set this Winter Birdhouse from Spellbinders into mind.  I love this house!  My card also features the Oct'22 Embossing Folder of the Month called Scattered Christmas.  I embossed a panel of Phone Booth (Spellbinders) card stock and then used Picket Fence Distress Ink over the top.  I added strips of leftover paper from last week's card.  The bird is from a separate die set.  The sentiment is from the Stamp/Dies Set Oct'22.  In hindsight, I shouldn't have cut the opening in the birdhouse so that the bird stands out from the red panel, but I have 7 more of these cards to make.  I won't make that mistake!

Please join us at the TMS blog and join in the fun.  We really love to see what you create, you inspire us as well.

Melissa when I saw your card I thought well this sketch was just made for it!! I like the hole cut out maybe you could put a solid color behind it like kraft so it would look like it has wood inside...or just black cuz it would be dark inside :) I love it so much no matter how you make it!!
