Monochromatic Birthday Card FMS #688

  This weeks Freshly Made Sketch challenge is hosted by Jen B.  


Here's My Card: 

I'm a big fan of Lost Lagoon so I looked through my stash for papers in that colour.  I remembered the Timeless Plaid 6x6 paper pack had some Lost Lagoon designs and because these papers are double-sided it was really easy to find a coordinating piece of dsp to go with this sketch design.  

For the center focal I added the big birdhouse from Country Birdhouse.  I was able to use the same dsp for the front panel of the birdhouse by paper piecing it.  

Supplies: 

Stamps & Dies: 

  • Country Birdhouse Stamps - sentiment "happy birthday".
  • Country Birdhouse Dies - birdhouse, flowers, bird
  • Birthday Sentiment inside card from "See You Later" Sale-a-bration stamp set(R) 
Cardstock & DSP:
  • Whisper White 
    • 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card base scored at 4 1/4". 
    • Inside Matte 3 5/8" x 5 1/4" 
    • 2 scraps for sentiment and trim on birdhouse
  • Lost Lagoon
    • 5 1/4 x 2" for top matte on card front
    • 5 1/4" x 1 3/4" for matte on bottom card front 
  • Timeless Plaid DSP (R)
    • 5 1/8" x 1 7/8" 
    • 5 1/8" x 1 5/8"
    • 2" x 2" scrap for front of birdhouse
Ink:
  • Lost Lagoon ink and blends 
  • Momento Black 
Accessories:
