Back To Nature with Cheery Lynn Designs

Hello friends~  Today's card was made for the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge ~ Back To Nature challenge.


I started by stenciling on some random bars using an MFT stencil using distress inks allowing the color to fade on the outer edges.  I then went to work cutting all these adorable Cheery Lynn dies:  Birdhouse with Lattice, Birds of Earth & Sky, Cattails & Reeds and Nesting Flower Pots.  I did more sponging to add color to the cattails, reeds, plant pot and birds and then assembled the card.  The sentiment is stamped using a PTI stamp.

I'll also be adding this card to the following challenges:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings~ Birgit
