Yay! It's March blog hop time. Here's my story. I had a great idea for a card using some of my new release goodies. However, the new goodies did not show up until Monday and I only have time to play on the weekend. So I had to come up with a whole new idea.
I wanted to try making stripes since Nichole used a stamp from Luck of the Irish on one of her cards. So that became my starting point. I also wanted to try my hand at constructing a bird house roof using a scallop border punch. Note to self - it takes a lot of border punch strips to cover a roof so cut it down to the smallest size that will work.
So here is my project using buttons as embellishments. Hope you enjoy. Hope my mom enjoys this card for Mother's Day.
Supplies:
Stamps: Polka Dot Basics II, Bird Watching, Luck of the Irish, Daily Designs Sentiments
Card Stock: Spring Moss, Aqua Mist, Hibiscus Burst, Dark Chocolate. Stamper's Select White
Ink: Aqua Mist, Hibiscus Burst, Dark Chocolate
Patterned Paper: Itty Bitty Dots
Other: Vintage buttons, circle punch, Stampin' Up Top Note and Little Leaves dies, Stampin' Up scallop border punch.

Such a beautiful scene you've created with this card. I hear you on the roof statement. I recently made a roof out of the scallop punch and it took a lot longer to put it together. This card was clearly worth it!!!
