F4A39 Happy Home

Photo Details

Poster: bfinlay

For today's Free for All we're to make a hospitality thank you card - I used the bird house from a retired SU set, Garden Pleasures, coloring it with copics and popping it up on a Nestabilities oval.
I added some curled wire and attached the little bird silhouette with glue. I sponged a cream feather with blue ink and added some raffia to go with the idea of nesting materials. The sentiment is from another retired SU set called Right at Home, and it has another sentiment which I stamped on the inside, "Thank you for your hospitality".

Wow, is this ever gorgeous! Great coloring on the birdhouse. I love your color scheme and the way you incorporated the feather to go along with the bird theme.
