I made eight cards while we were on vacation, staying at a cabin. I brought very limited supplies with me - white and ivory cardstock precut into cards bases and also quarter-cut for stamping on, my small ink cubes, my small Papertrey Ink sets and other small sets, scissors, Scor-Buddy, small paper cutter, some pearls and enamel dots, Star Dust Stickles and Liquid Pearls, a couple pieces of black cardstock and colored scraps. Oh, and also some die cuts and "card parts" from very recently. I think that's about it. It was fun to have them with me, as the weather was not so great to begin with! I did pack it all up on Wednesday, so these cards were made in the first three days. 

For this card (which I think will go to my sister who just moved back to Minnesota from Georgia, along with a bottle of wine we purchased at a local winery) I used stamps from a small Technique Tuesday set. I stamped the birdhouse on blue textured cardstock and cut it out. The branch and leaf were stamped with colored inks and I stamped the bird with black and used a marker on it.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

  6. Gosh, your supplies were very well thought out! I know I'd just have a bunch of stamped images thrown into my Copic carrying case. I may not get many colored, but I'd feel better having them with me. I know you mentioned rain... This one is so cute! Love birdhouses!
