Monday Montage #265

Hey there stampin' friends! Welcome back for another Monday Montage Blog Hop.  I'm so happy to finally be feeling better so that I can get back to my stamp room and create!  It all started with a girls trip to Las Vegas.  We had a great time while in Las Vegas however I came home and was very sick.  I had gotten covid while on vacation.  Ugh.  So for the next week and a half I spent every single minute of every day just laying around.  I had absolutely no energy to do anything.  It was awful.  Thankfully though- today I'm feeling much much better!

My card today comes from the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set.  I created a gingerbread birdhouse  using the bird house die from the Country Birdhouse Dies.  To do this- I simply cut off the very bottom portion of the birdhouse.  

I used a sweet color palette that consisted of Pretty In Pink, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon.  Not normally colors I'd use together but they are beautiful together!  

To give a more Christmasy look to the gingerbread birdhouse- I used some peppermint sequins that I was gifted a few years ago.  This added an adorable candy like touch!  I then created a bunch of flowers using the Country Birdhouse Dies and greenery using the Golden Greenery Dies to surround the gingerbread birdhouse.

A tiny little bird was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored using  Lost Lagoon and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends.
