Hmmm... so I think it's a lot of frame for that little bitty birdhouse, but I do adore the look of it, the colors, the whole works. The background is Salty Ocean and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide inks directly on the card base, and the birdhouse and punched heart were colored with Copics.
The Leafy Frame does not cut an outer edge, so you can decide if you want to make a frame or an inset pattern. For this card I cut a panel of white 4 1/2" x 5 1/4" and centered the frame die over it, and that's my card size.
Have a happy day!

No way is it too much frame...it could be a hummingbird house. In any case this is just the cutest little house inside the vine frame. I love the bright coloring and the sponging. Fabulous.
Leslie this is beautiful. I love the leafy frame along with the bird house, they were meant for each other. Not too much at all. Your oxide background is the perfect colour for the scene you created. Love everything about this! Oh, and yes I'm with you! Love when you create. Have an awesome day!
They were made together like peanut butter and jelly, Leslie! This is a beauty with your amazing blending and coloring! I love the way you did the wee sediment and have the branch dangling for dementia! Hugs, Darnell
Those dies look amazing together. I love that cute birdhouse design. I cans ee why you grabbed it.
Is that ever stinking cute, wow these dies are like they were made for each other, I think it frames it perfectly, love how you gave to color to the dies too, especially that sweet little bird, oh my :) So love the way the branch is holding up the bird house and that little heart with the sentiment, such a great touch!
This is so adorable and it all goes together just perfectly. I love how you colored the background. It really helps make the whole picture stand out. Great coloring as usual.
really cute bird cage image and works perfectly with that leafy border. Pretty. Have a great day

This card is just darling! I love the little birdhouse and that you hung it on a branch. I think the leaf die is perfect with it. Looks like it's hanging among all the branches. So cute! Have a great weekend.

Oh this is so cute and delicate. That must be one happy little bird to live in such splendour!
I just love this card, Leslie! The softly colored background is so pretty and I love the frame and bird house dies together. You have such an eye for design - each card layout seems like it was made for the elements you've chosen.
