Birdie Thinking of You

Birdie Thinking of You - Front
Made this card to enter this month Hero Arts challenge. It has been months that I missed Hero Arts challenge and I decided to enter the challenge this month (in last minute, :P). 


Birdie Thinking of You - Inside
We do not have autumn season here in Malaysia. Thus, everything autumn theme is out of question even though I can try to make some Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival cards but it has been passed. Color challenge is not very my type as well. Thus, I only have the last option to use in order to enter the challenge which is window cards. I really like window cards as it give us mystery and surprise sometimes. I could not search a sketch that can be used for window cards. Thus, I come up with my own simple sketch. 


Close-up : Branch and sentiment
A light shaded blue cardstock is used as base for the sky. Then, branch with birds on it is stamped on the top of the card and colored using Copic markers. Sentiment of "Thinking of You" is stamped on top of the birds. Then, it is attached onto a yellow card. 


Close-up : Punched hole
A hole is punch below the branch and a birdhouse is stamp inside the yellow card together with sentiment "Today, Tomorrow and Always" above it which makes the whole message of "Thinking of You Today, Tomorrow and Always". A string is attach on the front of the card just above the birdhouse. Colored birdhouse is attach on the stamped birdhouse dimensional.
Close-up : Inside the card with sentiment 

Close-up : Ribbon that looks like grass and flowers
Green gems are added to the bubble message and birdhouse. The bottom of the card is decorated with some ribbon that looks like grass and flowers. 

Theme : Bird Title : Thinking of You Today, Tomorrow and Always 
Dimension : 12.7cm x 19.05cm or 5" x 7.5"
