Curtain Call Challenge--Birdhouse

I'm playing in the latest Curtain Call Challenge--Birdhouse. Love the inspiration pic!

And it's a good excuse to use Poppystamps' Brevilla Houses. I love this die!
I was tempted to cut the houses apart and scatter them, but decided to leave it as is.

I colored the tops of the houses with Distress inks--sometimes two colors--
and blended them with water towards the bottom. After the piece was dry
I spattered on white ink to tone down the colors a bit.

I popped up the houses on light gray card stock and added a scrap of
striped gray paper to mimic the wallpaper in the photo. The card was
finished off with the Paper Smooches sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Curtain Call Lovely Leaves

I'm playing in Curtain Call's latest inspiration challenge, Lovely Leaves.

Here's the inspiration photo.

And here's my card.

Okay, so I have seen gingko leaves on trips to Japan and I know they don't turn

orange, pink, or red. But wouldn't it be lovely if they did?

The gingko leaves were ink distressed and spattered with white ink

and mounted on woodgrain patterned paper. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
