Assembly & Trix:  

**This card is super simple, enjoy the colouring!

*  Stamp the post using Memento black ink along the left side of the card.  ***Trix, I repeated and overlapped this stamp so it looked more like a post.  I filled in the image slightly with Smoky slate, to add to the look of a pole.

*  Stamp the tall birdhouse in Memento black ink on the card and stamp again on a scrap piece of paper to create a mask.

*  Use the mask to cover the first birdhouse and stamp the leafy branch using Granny Apple Green ink at the top of the card.

*  Stamp the other birdhouses in Memento Black Ink as well as the hanger images.  ***Trix, I stamped the hanger/rope image three times to create a second, more slender pole for the one birdhouse to sit on.

*  Colour the birdhouses, birds and leaves with Stampin' Blends Markers.  

*  Stamp the flowers using Granny Apple Green ink.

*  Stamp the sentiment with Bermuda Bay ink.

Enjoy and have a super day!
