Treat Birdhouse

Happy Wednesday from Roxie!  My daughter found the pattern for this little birdhouse on Pinterest and asked if I could make a couple for her daughter's pre-school teachers for Valentine's Day, I did and just because they're so cute I wanted one for myself for any occasion!
It's very easy to create but the pattern didn't have the roof pieces large enough for the house so after assembling the body I measured and made mine 1/2" wider and longer than the house top which actually ended up being a square cut.
The original post/pattern has been replaced with a purse pattern so I linked my Pinterest page here.  This house was enlarged about 3/4" inch.

Here is the open view.

Pink Dahlia

 

Roxie here, my card features the dahlia image, sentiment and a couple of the ATC stencils paired up with the Ranger Distress Sprays and the image is colored with Chameleon Pens. 

I used Chameleon Pens to color the image; if you aren't familiar with this product - one marker will do the job of three or more markers of the other brands on the market.

Colors: flower center - Y03, blossoms PK3,PR4, leaves and stem - 0L3, Y03

The pink panel is watercolor paper misted with water and then misted with two colors of distress sprays while wet and once dry the white spray was added.  I then used a couple of the ATC stencils and sponged the design to add character.
