J O Y...

hello friends!!  saturday afternoon has arrived in my part of the world and it is a really pretty afternoon, too!  we usually don't have nice sunny days in the middle of november, but i'm going to take it!!  here with my card for this week's Less is More challenge, which is to use a house. 

a few weeks ago i found out i was the lucky winner of a $100.00 shopping spree from penny black!  and one of the stamps i got with that $100.00 was the pretty christmas stamp called "joyful birds". it features (as you can see) three sweet little birdhouses and i have been wanting to make something with it since it arrived on my doorstep.   today's LIM challenge was the perfect opportunity.   i stamped the image with memento's tuxedo black ink and then colored it up with various copic markers.  when i was done coloring i had to stamp a second image so my little guy could color up his own version!  he worked very hard to make sure he stayed in the lines and it turned out great!  he is so proud of himself!   after i did that i used my quickie glue pen to add glue lines and some ultra fine glitter.  i think i added a bit too much glitter, but no going back now... lol!! 

thanks for stopping by....
