Clean and Simple Birdhouse

 I love all things aqua, so this birdhouse card is probably my favorite.  It looks a little washed out in the picture, but it really is lovely in person!  This one uses the Scalloped Contour Dies and the host Design a Daydream DSP. This one is just stamped directly to the White layer, hence its' simplicity! The DSP layer is cut with the largest Scalloped Die, and the White scalloped rectangle from the next size. I also colored the retired Seam Binding with a blend for a coordinating ribbon!  Love this! It's really much prettier in person!

  • Design a Daydream DSP (H) (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
