This card encompasses a couple of challenges this week and will be sent to a fellow teapotter. I used the Nestabilities Label 4 to repeat the corners of this card. I love to add textures, so I added some embossing, only to find it was the dessert option on the color challenge.
I substituted Ballet Blue for Baha Breeze. The birdhouse texture was traced with Creamy Caramel marker and then I watercolored the remaining Caramel.
The digi is from Little Musings, except I removed the post and grass under it.

Your image is too cute but the embossed layering is perfect. I wuld not have thought to trace the embossed birdhouse but it adds so much. WELCOME to the party.

Welcome to the teaparty!! Be sure an ask the Mudder for cookies. She keeps a large supply for the newbies!! If she gives you two or if you don't want your cookie, I (at great personal sacrifice) will take it off your hands.....
