Garden Birdhouses for #gdp380

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's card is inspired by Janneke De-Jong.  The Global Design Project challenge for this week is to CASE The Designer!  Here's what I love about Janneke's design, the four floating images, the placement and choice of the gems, the twine bow close to the sentiment, and the narrow coloured cardstock border.  Please click on the hyperlink above or the #gdp380 image below to visit the challenge and enjoy the inspiration!  

I'm wishing for spring, and yesterday I noticed the Purple Finches are back, spring must be on it's way.  So I naturally chose the Garden Birdhouses Stamp Set, #155090.  

***  The Trix  ***

*  Pick your favourite colours and create - I love Janneke's design of four images.  I stamped the Garden Birdhouses Stamp Set with Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Parakeet Party & Flirty Flamingo.

*  Give 'No Line Watercolouring' a try - yes it is easy.  Use Thick Basic White cardstock, a light touch with the Water Painter, #151298 and use the pool of colour from the lid of the ink pad.  

*  The Smoky Slate cardstock layer is a smidge bigger than the 4" x 5 1/4" Thick Basic White layer and matches the Smoky Slate of the Garden Birdhouses stakes.  The Parakeet Party green grass grounds the birdhouses.   

*  Stamp the sentiment with Coastal Cabana ink, #147097.  *Trix* attach the White Baker's Twine, #155475 bow with a glue dot to the back of the sentiment strip before attaching with dimensionals.  Embellish with Festive Pearls, #159963.
