The challenge is what is in your garden. We have an arch that I have a lone red ceramic bird cage hanging from it. Not 3 as my card suggests, lol. But design purposes you know, lol. We have two pots of grasses and I have a Virginia creeper plant growing up the arch. I embossed the sentiment with ivory e.p. and popped up on black foam tape strip. Could not get a good pic of how nice the dark sage c.s. looks. I do not own birdhouse dies, so I cut these from the MB country landscape die that I have.

I love birdhouses and bird feeders in the garden. Very pretty card with your red houses and very nice for Father's Day.

I love the garden scene you have created Shirl, when I saw this as a thumbnail in the gallery I thought it might be an Asian inspired cardwith hanging lanterns....how wrong could I be. Everything about this is fabulous.

How lovely that you have such a structure in your garden! It must give you a lot of joy! I'm also impressed that you are on to your Father's Day cards already! :-) Very clever to use the MB houses to make your bird houses. I will have to remember that! Great card!

What a fantastic Father's Day card this is Shirl. I love brown and red together and you have used it brilliantly in this wonderful card. I love the oval image panel and how you created your scene on this with these wonderful birdhouses adding more depth and dimension. I love how the sentiment piece looks like a piece of board! ~Karen.
