The Free 4 All challenge this week is for a fun activity one enjoys in the good ole summer time - in your youth, last week or whenever. I actually enjoy the birds year round but in the summer time I like to sit on my deck and watch the activities at the birdhouses we have in our yard. I love watching the baby birds fledge There are many things I enjoy in the summer but this is one of my favorites.
First off, my card is 5"x7". I wanted a good size card to show off the tree. The little birdhouse is popped up on dimensional tape. I created a little hanger with a negative bit from a silver sticker. I don't know if you can really see it in the picture but it is there. The cat was stamped and cut out and very slightly popped up on a dimensional. The grass was created with a die and the fence with a punch. I stamped extra flowers from the tree and laid them on the ground as if fallen from the tree.
The images were colored with Copics, the highlights around the tree with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and the sky was sponged with blue dye ink.
Thanks for looking

This is my favorite card in the gallery today! Everything about this card just draws me in; the cas design, the whimsical tree, the curious cat, the fallen flowers. You created a really beautiful card and I just love it!! TFS
We have a beautiful bird sanctuary where I live and I love to go there and hike around and listen to the different bird songs while I walk.
