Welcome to the Neighborhood

Hi everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using new Bird House dies from Paper Smooches.

I die-cut the roofs and posts from dark card stock, adding small dashes and dots using Kirarina Wink White Pearl and Dandelion pens. The three houses were cut from scraps of Echo Park’s The Simple Life patterned paper then raised on Kool Tak clear foam squares and 1/4″ X-Press It Foam Tape. By using the two different thicknesses, the houses are raised at varying heights.

The word Welcome was cut from green card stock then patterned paper, layered for a thicker appearance with a bit of color beneath. The remainder of the sentiment was stamped from The Welcome Wagon stamp set.

The tiny birds are part of the Bird House die set and the bits of grass were created by snipping the small zig-zag stitch from Stitched dies.
