Inspiring Inkin' Challenge #15

This fortnight's challenge on Inspiring Inkin' is to make anything but a card! You can interpret this in any way you like, but the side twist is to make a Christmas gift.


Well my mum loves her birds so I made her a birdhouse. I'm sure you've seen plenty of these on the internet but I made my own so that they would fit the UK sized cards and envelopes.



This is the front/side view. The box is 3 ins wide and about 7 ins long and could easily fit in 10-15 cards and envelopes.


The box opens on one side of the roof and rather than close it with a long piece of ribbon I used a piece of velcro and it stays closed perfectly.


I did make some matching cards to go with it. Some I have CASED from the SCS gallery for this stamp set, but I kept the colours all the same palette and the main images are from the same stamp set too.
