For today's Inspiration Challenge, Stacy has us looking at ETSY Birdhouses.
I was inspired by the color and flying birds on this Bird Nerd pillow.
I used a bird stencil and a dots stencil sponging Weathered wood through both on watercolor paper. I die cut the panel using Pierced Feature Frames die, layering the outer frame with foam strips. I stamped the sentiment in black and added 3 clear sequins.
We're hunkering down for the snow hitting MA tonight into tomorrow - then turning icy over night Sunday!

Beautifully framed stenciled bird and polka dots too, Julia! Very nice sentiment sure to lift the recipient~
Stay safe tonight and tomorrow....my DH and I were born and raised in Southbridge. He joined the navy 2/19/75 and we never moved back once he retired in 10/01.

This is really clever doing your design using stencils for the bird and the dots...I love the look. The sentiment is really nice, too...goes well with the bird.
Good luck with all your snow...we're just having really cold temps and windchills...

Lovely card from your inspiration, Julia. Not only is the bird graceful, but I like how you dotted bg lightens as it goes towards the bottom of the card.
