World Card Making Day!

i'm so excited for today!!

there are so many amazing giveaways, challenges, and just plain old fashioned card-making FUN!! it's a perfect day!!

although, admittedly, i didn't get to spend as much time ACTUALLY making cards today as i wanted to today...(insert super fun, family bonding day in downtown Charleston here), i was able to whip up a few cards for a few challenges after the little menn went down to sleep! :)

ok, so first of all, newton's nook is offering up a few different ways to win some newton's swag! create ANY card you want (no Newton required, but it's fun to see!!) and you can either link up on the newton's nook designs blog, or post on instagram! make sure you play along, too!

then, OF COURSE,  moxie fab world is ROCKING today from sun up to sun down! so my card was created with this super versatile, incredible sketch! 

alright, onto my card! :)

yay! i used two different newton's nook designs stamp sets! the birds, houses and part of the sentiment are from tweet talk. and the big 'thanks' is from simply sentimental! i loooooooove how this turned out!!

to create the background, i took a piece of white cardstock, and squished it on top of some pumice stone distress paint, then spritzed it with water. once it was dry, i stamped the woodgrain backdrops from lawn fawn (in wet cement ink from hero arts). 

the bird houses and birds were colored with copics and popped up! 

so what do you think? is it tweet? lol! :) 

(note: i'm a little slap happy from being outside in the sun/fresh air and then racing home to craft! ha!)

alright, i have another post coming your way soon! :)

LOVE this day!

enjoy!
