Birdhouse

This card was chosen in the Top 3 at Digi Chooseday and it won me another feather in my cap!

  

Over at Digi Choosday, the Week 16 challenge is 'Tic Tac Toe'.  

Three or more items from this grid must be used:

 

I made this card and used a charm, a tag with a sentiment, lace and flowers.

The images are from Polkadoodles. The birdhouse is Beautiful Birdhouse 4 and the fence is a free digi from the Tatty Twinkle Easter bundle. They were coloured with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut.  They were attached with foam pads to a piece of white card which had been dry embossed with an Xcut Quilt folder. This was matted on to green card and attached with foam pads to the design paper from a pad called Spring in Bloom by Trim Craft. 

White cotton lace was adhered along the bottom edge of the card. Sparkly sticker strips were added to the spine edge of the card. 

A glitter tag and sentiment was placed to the right of the birdhouse and a pink ribbon bow attached. A silver dragonfly charm was placed on a glue dot alongside the tag and card candy craft dots added to the top left corner.

ATC: Ribbon Tag Matryoshka

Yay!....Mama Babushka helped me be the winner at Wicked Wednesday this week!


And ... I was in the top picks at  Pixies Crafty Workshop for week 225

This week at Wicked Wednesday the ATC Challenge #205 has the theme of "Ribbon Tag". 

Here is what I made:

 

I love Babushka Dolls or Matryoshka. Their bright colours and smiling faces always brighten my day. 

To make my ATC and ribbon tag I used digital papers and a template. The digital papers were part of a set from Pixel Paper Prints called Matryoshka Nesting Doll, and the Matryoshka Doll Template was from Striped Elephants.

The ATC card was covered in patterned paper, both front and back. Space was left open at the back for the tag to be concealed. A thin strip of pink heart patterned paper was glued along the bottom of the ATC and sticky glitter strips added either side. The edges of the ATC were inked in black.

The doll was paper pieced according to the template, and the face of the doll from this set was attached. Paper piecing is such a good way of using up snippets of paper! Stickles glitter and gel stickers were added to the doll's outfit, and glossy accents gave her eyes some shine. The doll was attached to the ATC on foam pads.

The tag was die cut from card using an Xcut Tag die. Patterned paper and a strip of pink paper and glitter strips were added, as on the main ATC.The tag edges were inked in black. A smaller doll was paper pieced and decorated, then glued to the tag. The word 'hi' from the Paper Smooches  'Scripty Sayings' set was stamped  and ribbons were attached.

I like the idea of a smaller Matryoshka coming from within the larger one :-)
The back of the ATC and tag were left plain:
