Friends and New Homes

Happy Monday and welcome to another Friends of Speedy TV challenge!  This week, in challenge number 57, we are making projects with a theme of new homes.  I went ahead and used the Mark's Finest Papers set called Tweet That for today's card.  I just couldn't pass up the perfect sentiment and piecing my bird house on a post!  I stamped, colored and cut both the birdhouse image and birdbath image.  I trimmed the birdbath strategically and added it to the bottom of the birdhouse.  Some torn paper strips, embossed vellum, rounded corners and sponging round out my card.
I used the current Retro Sketches design as my jumping off point.  I didn't follow the sketch exactly, but I am sure that you can see a few of the elements in my card. 
 
Let's not forget that Mark's Finest Papers offers a prize to one lucky participant.  This week Amaryllis Definition is up for grabs.  What a great set!  Here it is:
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

What a fun card. Love the paper strips, bit of vellum and the image is wonderfully coloured. Nice touch with the sponging around the edges.

Very nice card - love the combining of the house and the bath to give a house on a pole.

Toni,
This is really adorable - I have always loved this set and, in fact, just sent a card to my niece congratulating her on her new home using this image!
