Here is my project:
To start, I die cut a scrap of My Mind's Eye Shimmer Cardstock in Imperial Red with the largest scallop die from the Stitched in Circles Dies set. Next, I used the wreath die from that set to die cut vellum and white paper and adhered them to the red paper using Multi Medium Matte.
After that, I clear heat embossed the bottom half of the birdhouse and blended Ground Espresso Distress Ink into the paper, fussy cut the Home Sweet Home sign on the birdhouse and set it aside.
Next, I second generation stamped the bird house and the bird with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and colored the images with various Copic markers. Using my craft knife, I cut the holes out of the birdhouse.
After I was done, I fussy cut the images, used foam tape to mount the sign on the birdhouse and made the bird look like he was perching on the sign.
For the card base, I started by blending Festive Berries Distress Ink into the bottom of the card and fading it upwards. When the Distress Ink was dry, I heat embossed the sentiment, Merry Christmas, from the stamp set, Tis The Season, using white embossing powder from Hero Arts.
For the finishing touches, I adhered a scrap of tinsel ribbon around the card base and popped the scalloped circle up with foam tape over the ribbon. I brushed Clear Wink of Stella over parts of the images and used a red Wink of Stella glitter pen to draw sparkly red dash lines all the way around the card and I was done!
