This is my card for cc344. Julia is our hostess and her color choices are tempting turquoise, elegant eggplant and pumpkin pie. I used pumpkins for the dessert option this week.
I found this birdhouse template on my computer that I downloaded over a year ago and never used it to make a card. I thought a birdhouse would look great all dressed up in this weekÂ’s colors.
I used the stampin-up bird punch and the border punch for the birdhouse roof and then added some pumpkin rickrack trim.
On the birdhouse front I used elegant eggplant dsp and a spellbinder lacy circle.
On the bottom I added some sheer turquoise ribbon with a velvet center.

Mary, a bird and birdhouse are just perfect for the "lookin' up" challenge! It's amazing how you've used these colors, I know I couldn't use them more perfectly - and not sure I'll have time today! : ) And I love this sentiment - so beautiful in it's simplicity and meaning. Thanks for playing along in this "hope" challenge!
