New Home

My little birdie just moved into his new home and there are leaves so it must mean Spring has come. NOT at my house. Still cold as ever and expecting some snow tonight...maybe a few inches.
 I never have a card for someone moving into a new home so I took this opportunity while I'm entering Flourishes FTTC104-Button Up challenge to make one. Maki, the hostess this week said to use buttons on your card or project.

I made a very simple, one layer using Flourishes Home Tweet Home stamp set. I colored the leaves, bird,  and branches with Copics and Tombows. Added a crinkled ribbon, twine, and a button. I cut out and popped on my little bird and it's finished.

My card was also inspired by the challenge at Etsy Inspired Challenge -EIC125. My inspiration came from this wonderful Wild Leaves Hair Clip at Daisy Petal Designs.     

The leaves inspired me to use my Flourishes stamp with a branch and leaves and a pretty button.

My card is also for the challenge at Tuesday Throwdown #35 to use buttons on your artwork.
I've had this elegant button for a few weeks  and it has been begging to be used..so this is the challenge for me.
