Today Julia challenged us to do some heat embossing. I love to heat emboss. Sallie, hobbydujour, was kind enough to RAK me this PSX birdhouse image. I watercolored the birdhouses. After all were dry, I used the versamark pen to color all the black birds, holes in the houses & the border, then clear embossed. I'm not sure if it shows in the photo. I wanted to add something else but did not like any of my ribbon w/ this. I'm sure my mom rolled over in her grave b/c I used the pinking shears on paper!! Well, what else am I gonna use 'em for??? I thought this MS fence punch out that I traded for w/ Queen Lesley, would look good. After looking again at Sallie's sweet card, I'm going to sponge in some blue sky.
Here is Sallie's card: QFTD07 Birdhouses for Carol by hobbydujour at Splitcoaststampers
Thank you Sallie for the image & Lesley for the fence.
As always, thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Cute card - love that fence border and the image is super cute. My Mom was the same way about pinking sheers - we snuck and used them on paper anyway! Thanks for bringing up that memory!!!!!!

Bugzi, you're gonna think I copied you, but I uploaded a card a day after your sweet birdhouse card, and it too has a birdhouse AND that MS punch!! Great minds think alike, eh?
Your coloring of the houses is great!

Those pinking shears did a great job! Your bird houses are adorable. The fence is a good punch. Now, that is two good crafters to send you these items.
