Make it Monday: Step It Up - Layering with Little Bitty Bird

This is my second try at this week's Make It Monday: Step It Up - Layering challenge. I thought that Little Bitty Bird and the new Additions would fit well, so I made two different version of this "Sending You Sunshine" card. 

In the first version, I actually did a one layer card! SHOCKER, that is every unlike me, lol! I combined LBB and Additions with the grass  from Love Lives Here, the "sunburst" from Nativity Silhouettes, the frame from Sweet Spring and a sentiment from Simple Sunflower.

Now, for the "stepped up" version, I popped up the birds and birdhouse on foam adhesive. I cut a "sun center" from Harvest Gold with the Love Lives Here small scalloped circle die, and stamped it with a pattern strip from Half & Half in Summer Sunrise. It is popped up on foam adhesive on the sunburst. I also cut the Sweet Spring frame and Stamped it the same way. Then I put my sentiment on a banner strip, stamped in brown and Summer Sunrise, and popped it up on the frame shape. I used the picnic plaid impression plate on thefocal point panel, and then popped it up on a Summer Sunrise mat, and adhered that to a white card base.

This is a fun challenge - it's interesting to think of different variations on the same card! Thanks for stopping by!
