Home Sweet Home........




I made this sweet little card 

having been inspired by Kims Wonderful card for this weeks Muse Card Club Challenge

This is Kim's card and its just so wonderful, I love those birds and her design. My 
inspiration is the branch and birds and clean white card and stamped sentiment.


I was going to stamp some leaves, then I was going to cut a die cut branch but then more of my wonderful Purple Onion Designs, Stacey Yacula stamps arrived. I do so love her stamps, all the critters are so cute and she now has some amazing scenes as well and now I have to make sure as usual that I use some stamps. So.......

I stamped the branch and coloured with Copics as Spring is starting over here and the lovely  pink and white blossoms  are blooming. Its a new home for my little birds (they are from a previous purchase).  One of course needed to be in his rainbow coloured vest cause there is a chill in the air at night. Their making a new nest  for their home.


The Home Sweet Home sentiment is also one of Stacey's and because I order so many and so often there always seems to be lovely little sentiments gifted to me with my order. I find this happens quite a bit with smaller businesses and think its amazing that they go this extra step. Also after paying if my postage is less I always end up with a refund, how cools that.

So I thought the sentiment would work perfectly for my nesting couple.
I really pleased with how this card turned out and thank Kim for her inspiration.
Now Im thinking I need to go do another with the other idea she sparked......

Thanks so much for coming to visit and I hope you come again.

In Poland, summer is coming to an end and I'm beginning to miss spring ... Your cute birds are beautiful. I also love Stacey Yakula's designs. All you need is one small praszek and it will make the whole card :-)
