The Winter Birds stamp set and Winter Birds Add-On stamp set are both winter/ Christmas themed sets, but you can also used it for something outside this season. I used the Build-a-Birdhouse die set as well, to creat this new home card, that I send to my friends who just bought this amazing house together. All products are, of course, from Lawn Fawn.

For the background I used a cloud stencil and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink. I also die cut two hills from the Stitched Hillside Borders set. I ink blended them with Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Inks.
