Hi there! Today is the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party for May. This month's theme is felt or cozy fabrics. I thought, what is cozier than home?
I combined images from Sewing Box - Hugs with some felt to make my little card. Some hand cut felt leaves accent the branch image, and little strips of felt were glued together to make my bird's cozy nest home.
It was easy to just replace some of the images with felt instead. And since we're going for that cozy, homespun look, the cuts don't have to be perfect (of course, if you have dies, use 'em!). Don't you love that houndstooth felt? Sure do!
I won't keep you, since you've got lots of partying to do. You have until 1:30 pm EST tomorrow (May 25) to link up with us if you would like to create something for the party, too!
Have a great day!
